So last night at a local meet, i was driving for a while and parked in the parking lot. Then as i got off, i noticed a bit of steam comming from my engine bay.. and when i looked at my front passanger wheel a stream of coolant just came out. But it looked green and our colant is orange.

so what in our cars has a green fluid (i am pretty sure it was engine coolant).

My other question is how do I flush the radiator so that i can add the dexcool to it.

thanks :)

Mighta just been a complete failure of the coolant reservoir pressure cap.

It's easy to damage by overtightening; rolls, pinches, or cuts the rubber gasket.

Check your radiator well. Minelost coolant without my knowledge, overheated, and eventually the plastic tank wall cracked open (top rear of the driver-side tank.
