Steam escaping from radiator area

[Jerry_112]

There seems to be steam escaping from the area around where I fill water/coolant. The water light comes on, I top it up, and after warming up, the steam begins to come, and the light goes on again...what's going on?

You have hole in the rad or expansion tank - DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR !!!

What costs am I looking at? Is that easy to repair?

cost depends on what part needs replacing... if you drive it and it overheats then you will need a new engine...

Replaced the radiator @ Silverton, R1800 with installation. Found two leaking water hoses in the process.
