First thing, Did you spill any? Take a hose and wash off the area to make sure it is still not around. if that fixes it, you are messy. (haha)
Second thing, Is there any coolant or wet spots on the driveway and is your rad having to be topped up periodically? If yes, you have a leak.
One way to help you determine where the leak is, look where your wet spot is. That will tell you the approximate area the cooling system is leaking from.
Check the cooling system parts around there(directly above the wet spot) and you will probably see your leak.
If not, go to a garage or somewhere like Napa and get them to pressure test your cooling system.
If you
don't see a leak and you are losing a/f, then the leak might be internal( a headgasket). cheers and good luck

i have a 2001 subaur impreza 2.5 RS a few days ago i was checking the fluids and added coolant and spilt some on the radiator. now when the car gets warmed up smoke comes from under the hood i cheked and its coming from the area of the radiator. its been three days i have watched the temp gage and its reading normal.
Please translate to English "and not the radiator is smoking why?"
