No that is not normal. The bit of smoke you saw was coolant being sprayed on to hot parts.
Time for an upgrade. Mishimoto would be my choice, or a koyo.

yeah, just get a new one and do your thermostat while you are there. just get the oem thermostat.

I asked the question here: how long does the OEM radiator last? The consensus - about 100K miles.

Great info to know, mine just ticked 7k right over that. I will def. replace mines soon.

I'm guessing his split or cracked by the upper or side rubber panels.

Well, okay, but a new radiator identical to OEM can be had for $200.95.

Not to mention if only the top was replaced, then the bottom will go soon.

Why would you fix the stock radiator? ...
Mishimoto has a lifetime warranty, that alone would make me want to buy a radiator.

the probable reason your radiator leaked is because of your radiator cap. If you replaced it with a high pressure cap then that is the reason.

He is not here in the US so that might be the reason he just had it fixed.

(yes andrew i dont live in the us ) guys i dont live in fancy countrys that have everything if i buy parts i have to have them shipped i dont think the warranty will be affective if im in another country / island so us by the other end have to try our best to fix it till we have to ship it
