i recently had my car over heat, smoke into the cab the whole 9 yards. i just had a new radiator put in because of a crack in the plastic part close to the washer fluid cap. now my check engine light is on it was read for a misfire, temperature, & low coolant. 2 were corrected & person fixed it. well now it has started to over heat again with temp Gage reading over 260, and i am dripping coolant on passenger side near the from of the wheel, also i was steaming from the cap. could anyone tell me what could cause all these coolant problems and a way to get my car back on the road?
 
first reaplce your thermostat then check your hoses going to your heater core thru the fire wall they may be whats leaking now but if it down by the tire id say your heater core is fryed also by the steam getting into the cab
 
overheating your car can cause damadge to the head like warping and small crack or both, if your engine is missfireing check the plugs if one plug is verry shinny and clean you need to go see the engine man, also if a compression test shows low compression in 2 adjacent cylinders.
