Coolant bubbling over I don't really know where to start or what to think about this. My car doesn't run hot or anything wrong with the cooling system except when I park the car after driving it I notice the coolant is bubbling over into the overflow reservoir, radiator doesn't leak, and I've replaced the cap, nothing seems to have changed

I am also running straight water through the system right now, I don't think this will make a difference will it? When I was running antifreeze in with it the coolant still bubbled over just not as drastically is it has when I was running straight water through it. I'm going to be adding antifreeze to it, but I'm trying to run the system and flush it out so I can run regular antifreeze and not that dexcool crap

have you recently performed work on your car?
reason i ask is because i had the same exact issue....and the problem was that the 2 coolant lines that go to the radiator were reversed...
the engine STEAM PIPE needs to be on the lower radiator nipple, and the overflow hose needs to be on the upper radiator nipple. hope this helps...G.L
