coolant coming out of the overflow bottle..
now that it started to get warm my car decides to start peeing coolant out of the overflow bottle exit hose. i thought it was the thermostat so i replaced it, no change in the problem. what is making it push all of the coolant out of the radiator into the overflow bottle and out the overflow tube to the ground?

take off your radiator cap, if your radiator is empty and your overflow is pissing then you have lost your headgasket. if not maybe you just had the overflow too full to start.

thats what happened to me when my head gasket went out, problem was it would leak out from the head gasket letting air in then the air would expand and push it all out till it was to empty. At least that was my theory on the whole thing

Re: coolant coming out of the overflow bottle..
i fixed it tonight, so if you are reading this and have this problem.. before you do anything replace the radiator cap and thermostat. i replaced my radiator cap tonight after reading some stuff on dsmtuners.com and that turned out to be my problem. no more leakage and my car runs alot cooler than what it used to.
