Take the fan try to move it up/down and side to side any movement there is a water pump bearing wearing out.

Over time, this seal dries out and leaks coolant from the pump housing. 2.In most cases, what you see as boiling is air bubbles that find their way to the coolant reservoir. This problem has several causes, and the most common reason is a leak in the radiator pressure cap. Other possible causes include: Water pump leak. Leak in the overflow tank. Leak in the head gasket.3. Combustion Leak Testing. A combustion leak tester checks if coolant is leaking into the combustion chamber through a blown head gasket or cracked head. Add the tester fluid to the radiator, run the engine and check for color change indicating exhaust gases in the coolant. 4.The main causes of Coolant Reservoir overflowing but not overheating are faulty radiator caps, air pockets in the cooling system, and head gasket leaks. These issues can lead to improper pressure regulation, trapped air, and combustion gas entry, causing coolant overflow.359 posts · Joined 2005. #3 · Nov 25, 2005. yeah you have a leaky head gasket, right now it is just letting compression out of the motor into your coolant system.

Moderate overheat wont do it, it would take major. Enough to do damage. 1. Loose cap 2. Faulty cap relief due to debris or spring 3. Blown hg overpressures coolant system/ increases volume 4. Coolant seriously overfilled - liquid full. That looks nasty. Really nasty. "There are signs that the crisis is not set to morph Combustion in the cooling system ussually gets worse and pushes coolant out overflow while driving due to overpressure. Rapid temp fluctuation and fan cycling is another clue to air or compression in the cooling system.Overw8. 92 posts · Joined 2015. #2 · Jan 17, 2017.
