Radiator top split.

Radiator top split.
The car has not been driven since Thursday and has never been over heated.
I go to start it up and it goes hot, I turn it off and there is coolant pouring out the top of the radiator. It's the original radiator with the plastic top and apparrently it split over the weekend. Anyone else have a spontaneous self-destruct like this before?

I thought it was the plastic piece that was cracked in your case. If it is, that can be repaired.

Jesus is the Messiah
Mine did excatly the same thing
I filled it in with Ultra Black RTV and it held for a few months.
Then . . .
BLAM!!!!!! It EXPLODED, huge crack, the entire top split completely open.
I reccomend getting a new Rad cap while you are at it Mazda OEM!
