Anyone ever have their radiator blow??
So I was running my car in my garage for about an hr, trying to run all of the gas out of it.. and out of no where a pressure based pop, followed by tons of steam, and all of my radiator fluid on the ground in a matter of second..
I thought to myself, "great the hose popped off", So after cleaning it up for about an hr (dag alert), I took a snoop around.. No holes in the hoses, No disconnection occuring with them?? WTF?? I look around some more and noting that on my ac condensor i can see a big mark from what looks like fluid and their is radiator fluid all in it..
My thought it something went pop internally in the radiator??
Im going to change out to an aftermarket one, and was planning to anyways, and get rid of the oem radiator hoses because their a PITA. So this did nothing but speed up the process. Any ideas though?

the bottom hose has a sensor in the connector ... which is why i used the OEM
also the top hose is connected down there on the block ... good luck replacing it without a motor pull.
