yea..i had antifreez at one point but i have a VERY slow radiator leak and wen i put more in i jus put straight water...like wen i started the car this morn there was a wierd clicking kinda sound for like 2-3 secs then stoped and car sounded fine...i let sit till was warm and hen i went to drive the temp jus spiked up..

Flush your coolant system. Get a new thermostat (they are cheap) get a new water pump (easy to install) and get a new radiator. Why are you going to run around with a bad radiator?

Water mixing with oil in the motor?

If there are no leaks, it could be your head gasket.

If you still have ice in it, dont run it. If theres a possibility of it still being frozen, dont run it at all. Even though you could have already ruined the pump, you dont want to risk anything else.

Flush the system, refill with antifreeze, new thermostat, and then try again. If you get temp spikes then, its the pump or a really bad radiator.
