radiator problem? maybe
i havea 95 3.4 L camaro with 160 XXX miles on it. Within 5 minutes of starting the car it is in the red overheating. i have checked the hose coming off of the radiator and it seems to have no pressur at all. could my radiator be clogged or bad? also when i opened the hood to check the radiator it was smoking a little bit. i was like HOLY !@#$ and started to investigate to see if i could tell where it was coming from i could see coolant (green fluid) all under the hood. i took the air filter off and started to look and i found a bolt that screwed into the front of the engine and it was leaking the green fluid out. i have pictures and any opinions on either of these topics would be a great help. thanks

Nevermind. Use a small inspection mirror to check the weep hole on the underside of the pump pulley. Look for the green residue to help confirm faulty water pump. Pressurize the system and try to look for any leaks. It sounds like a water pump that is beginning to fail, or a hose or fitting has begun to corrode.
