I can't figure out why the radiator is leaking from the top of the radiator, on the opposite side of the fill cap. I put a bottle of Prestone anti-leak with pellets in yesterday to prevent a tiny, almost unidentifiable leak from becoming a large one. Instead, the opposite happened! I broke up and dissolved the pellets as best as possible. Yet I am losing large amounts of coolant now and the spillage is casuing smoke to pout from the engine. As yet, I have not noticed the car actually overheating, but it likely will. What is going on? Please help!

Using sealer will cause more harm than good (my opinion and from exp.)
if the radiator is leaking replace the radiator and dont waste time and money
dont let engine overheat or internal engine failure will occur
