well my car started to overheat last week so i turned it off immediately and i havent had time to work on it until today.. so i replaced the coolant temp sensor since it was broken in half for some reason and i replaced the thermostat.. the car doesnt overheat anymore but there is smoke coming from the radiator.. i havent seen any leaks anywhere throughout the coolant system.. the water pump is not leaking either... so i have a bad radiator correct?

I'm going to go with yes. Mine does that from time to time when its colder. They leak around the end tanks if I remember correctly.
