2004 Jeep Radiator issue	Sign In

I'm having an issue with coolant spraying out of the front of my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7L V8. The problem started small. I was noticing a little bit of coolant on the ground after running the car. Just recently the problem opened up and I can notice antifreeze spraying out of the front of the grill. The car was in an accident about 6 months ago and I believe that may have sparked the issue. I am trying to figure out which part is causing the coolant to spray. I have uploaded a picture to http://tinypic.com/r/3460pk8/6

The coolant is spraying out of the top silver hose in the picture.

#1 - are you sure it's antifreeze and not more that just that? Have you added any yet as you should have had to.

Pic is nice but could be more than just antifreeze and no leaking is a good thing. Accident caused - hard to say and you are probably beyond the limit for "unseen" damages from that but no harm in asking,

Looks like a cracked radiator. Have it pressure tested.
