I actually ended up taking my car to a mechanic when it started leaking from the radiator. Turns out a fan blade had gotten brittle and broken off (plastic factory installed fan) and punctured the plastic (also factory installed) radiator. Replaced the fan and the radiator and she works perfectly now.
