I opened my hood to check oil before I left for the day and I see this. Any idea what caused this?

    Top tank burst. Happens a lot when the coolant is low. I’d be willing to bet that one or more hoses has a build up of corrosion&coolant leaking near the clamps. May be able to get away with replacing just the radiator and any suspect hoses & clamps, but I’d recommend a thermostat too. Have the system pressure tested afterwards to make sure there isn’t any other components leaking like the water pump.

      I recently replaced the thermostat would you say to get another one?
