This has literally just happened to me today, looking into doing a replacement myself

[@christophersnellstrom5169]

The top of my radiator in my 01 NB juuust bust off in this similar fashion after only 5-10 min of driving. Already ordered a full aluminum replacement. Fingers crossed there isn’t any further damage..

Best to change the thermostat too.

The color of the radiator is a dead give away. It was on its way out. Probably the only problem.

[@PeterTodd]

My first thought was radiator cap pressure relief failure?

[@thecountryjoat9824]

Did you have to do a head gasket

[@MiataMan]

Fortunately, it was just the rad and thermostat. No engine damage was present.
