1987 Firebird 2.8L MPFI radiator just cracked, what do I do?
Alright, I was driving my Firebird home tonight, and I pull in the driveway, and kill it and get out. Im walking around it, and hear a loud hissing noise. I pop the hood and see that theres coolant leaking onto my radiator underneath the metal covering at the top, and steam is pouring out. I went inside and came back out about 5 minutes later, and seen there was MORE COOLANT.
Some things that might help. I've noticed my oil pressure has been going a bit low lately. And my car has been lagging between when I give it gas and when the car actually moved by about half a second to a full second.
Dont tell me I got a lemon on my hands either. I think I may already.

the lag could be a number of thing from timing being off to fuel issues to the motor being on its last leg.
