Hi,

Just came back from a drive this afternoon and when I pulled into the drive way alot of coolent came out of the overflow hose. I topped up the coolant and it starts fine and runs ok?

Any ideas.

Thanks

Overpressurized coolant makeup tank can be caused by headgasket failure, or overheating, or air in the system.

Could also be a defective expansion tank cap
