Im really skinny though, so i was able to squeeze right up to the pump, i double checked just now just to make sure i wasnt telling you wrong.- The steam/smoke/vaporized coolant (i suppose) was coming from the engine/passenger side fins down low, and the one fan on that side has/had some coolant pooled a little more than anywhere else. The roads are a bit hazardous, so my POS 94 cavalier would probably die on the way to autozone, but i did my own sort of pressure test and the radiator both held fluid, and held pressure. (How much pressure is the part im unsure of, but 16, as listed on the cap, isnt too much)Before i changed the t-stat, i dropped some coolant in it and ran it to see if it would either expel or even move it. it didnt, so i am more leaning towards a failed t-stat? I can only imagine either a stuck closed tstat, an internally seized waterpump, or a clogged hose would cause that. in a few minutes after i get this new stat in along with some coolant, ill run it to see whats up. maybe even throw in a pic or two of my nice little heater keeping the radiator (but not me) warm...ish. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
