Alternator & Radiator problems....?

The other day, I noticed my dash lights came on and never shut off.
So, I asked my step dad what it could be. He said maybe the radiator belt broke.
He looked at it. Everything was ok. Then he pushed on a hose, and noticed antifreeze coming out of the top of the radiator.
We solved that problem.

I was driving the X home, when all of a sudden the lights got really dim, even the headlights. Then my radio shut off....I bairly made it home. I was wanting to know if that could be the alternator, or something to do with the radiator(Since it's screwed up anyhow)

I would show you pix of where the anti-freeze is coming out of the car, but I broke my cam.

I guess I'll be looking for a radiator now.

A leaking radiator isn't going to cause dash lights to come on...unless it's leaking into the alternator causing it to short out. Go get a free complete charging system check. (or 2)

How is your radiator screwed up? I thought you fixed the leak?
