Radiator Smoking

[GaryFenza]

I spilled some antifreeze on the radiator, now its smoking. Would that make it smoke for a long period of time, like a week or so?

Rinse it real good with the garden hose. When I do engine work for people, I always rinse the engine when I'm done, as I hate the smell of antifreeze. Letting the coolant burn off leaves residue, which you may be smelling for months to come. The smoking will stop, but the stink will still be there.
