radiator overheating

[ciche]

My 93 Camry Se radiator got overheating today (mileage 90k). I can see the leaking coolant on the radiator and it looks like I had to change it. Is this normal? I bought this only two month. What's the reason cause the problem?

Thanks a lot!

Coolant outside the radiator is not normal. Fill it while the engine is cold and then while the engine is idling and warming up. Once the engine is hot, seal the radiator cap and fill the reservoir to the "hot" line. See if you have a leak somewhere.

if your water resevoir boils ? change the radiator
