    Default radiator making smoke.

    got a 1997 honda civic radiator was leaking and i can see smoke coming from the radiator not from the engine. so i thought it the leak radiator so i went to pepboy and got me a new radiator and replace it no more leak, but i can still see the smoke coming from the same place anyone know why. one thing i know that my radiator fan doesnt come on but i dont think that the reason it making the smoke.
