Default Side of radiator is off. Need Help.

Sup fellas. Need help. I just looked at my car when I cam back form my study group and I was wondering why I saw some smoke coming from the engine. I thought maybe is was some oil I spilled but it's seemes a little strange. So I open the hood and look to see that on the left side of the radiator, the side wall(if you want to call it that) is off while on the right side of the radiator it's still there. It looks like I can see the core of the radiator. The car isn't overheating and I just added some waterwetter. She has 87k on her. I was wondering do you guys think I can make it until mid may so I can replace it. Waiting for this money to come back in.

I'm a little confused, accords don't have a left or right side tank like a newer chevy or something. It's a top tank or a bottom tank.

Take one of the sides of the radiator. There is a plastic casing that i guess hold the moisture in their but from old age it came off. I am going to replae the radiator anyway but for the time being going to get some of the prestone stop leak to hold off. At least iIflushed my system not oo long ago so hopefully it works.
