Radiator problems can cause engine overheating and damage.
Allowing your engine to run too hot over a period of time can cause severe damage that costs much more to repair than just the parts of your radiator and engine cooling system. This is why it is very important to keep your radiator in good shape and your engine running in the correct temperature range.
Overheating can cause detonation, which occurs when excessive heat within an engine cylinder chamber ignites fuel and air after the spark plug's correctly timed ignition has occurred. This raises pressure inside the cylinders to unacceptable levels. These incorrectly timed ignitions can damage the pistons, rings and the rods.
Detonation is usually indicated by a pinging or knocking noise and a loss of power. An overheated engine may also suffer from pre-ignition. Pre-ignition occurs when the fuel air mixture ignites before the timed spark from the plug. Pre-ignition can cause run-on or dieseling in carbureted engines, but is rare in modern fuel-injected engines. Excessive heat can also warp or distort the cylinder head and gasket, which can cause coolant and combustion leaks. Overheating can also damage your engine's
thermostat.
For all these reasons it is best not to drive an overheated car or truck. If warning lights or gauges indicate overheating seek service immediately.

Leaking Radiator or other Parts of the Cooling System?
Loss of radiator fluid (also referred to as coolant or ant-freeze) is the most common cause of overheating. Leaks can occur from the radiator itself, the radiator cap, connecting hoses, the thermostat housing, heater core, head gasket, water pump, cylinder head and the actual engine block. Radiator fluid has a sickly sweet smell, is slightly sticky, and can have greenish or reddish tint to it.
Radiator Cap: A failing radiator cap or one with an incorrect pressure rating can lower the radiator fluid's boiling point and allow fluid to escape from the radiator.
Heater Core: The heating core heats air for the passenger compartment and window defogging by transferring heat from the engine/radiator fluid, and is actually a much smaller version of the radiator for your motor. A leaking heater core may drip radiator fluid onto the carpeting in the front interior floor wells, and when the heat is turned on it will smell strongly of radiator fluid.
Water Pump: The water pump can leak from its seals or connecting hoses.
Hoses connecting the engine to the radiator can also leak. Leaks can also occur at the head gasket or from actual cracks in the head or cylinder block.
