Get the car towed to a garage that has heat and allow the water to thaw out. Then, drain the cooling system since there is too much water and not enough antifreeze in it. Now is a good time to repair/replace the leaking radiator. Refill and bleed the cooling system with a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze. If you don't repair the radiator, keep some 50/50 mix available for topping off to prevent freeze-ups in future.
SOURCE: Two small holes in the bottome of radiator; it's leaking water.
THE OTHER HOLE is actually the drain hole when you open plug it comes out that hole. you should be able to get a new plug at any parts store
SOURCE: Car radiator has small hole in it from a rock...
If steam is coming out of it it is an very small hole.
You can take the radiator to a radiator repair shop and have the hole fixed if it is that small. They usually charge less than $50 for small core holes like that if they can be fixed.
Your other option is replacement which will be substantially more money.
SOURCE: Cooling issue
I've always had good luck w/MASTER SILVER STOPLEAK by master corp. memphis tenn, silver flakes,use like barrs.yes,the system is pressurized,and pressure can increase slightly when you shut it off.
SOURCE: put water into radiator pours out of overflow
Make sure your drain plug at the bottom of the radiator is tight and un damaged. The 2 aluminum lines are for your automatic transmission and should not be messed with.
SOURCE: water comes out of the over flow bottle(i checked the cap)
make sure you dont over fill the radiator bottle past max, something else to try is run the system with out the cap on for a few minutes at idle to expel any air pockets in your cooling system.
