Engine Cooling problem
1994 Volvo 850 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 185000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I own a 1994 Volvo 850 non turbo, while driving yesterday the car overheated. I came home and let it sit, my coolant level was down so I added 1 gallon of water. I let it idle for about 15 minutes and it started to smoke. The oil looks fine but I cant find a leak and cant tell if it is the water pump or radaitor. Is ther a way to tell when either goes bad?

There was no white smoke from the exhaust and the smoke was coming from the oil dip stick and a tube that sits accross the top of the engine.
