Emergency!!!

SO long story short, I just installed a new radiator because my oem one was leaking from those aluminum slots & cuz my cats would smoke(white). SO after I installed the new radiator, it doesnt leak no more but my cats still smoke up. It has kind of a sweet rubbery smell. I thought it was just the leaking coolant from my previous radiator that would cause the smoke.

My Q is, can I drive this to a local shop(around ~5 miles) and not blow up in flames?

THanksss

Are you getting smoke from the exhaust or engine compartment? You should be fine to drive it a short distance since coolant is not flammable.
