Question HELP, my car keeps spitting up

Here in Oklahoma it has been reaching the mid nineties the last few days and when I get done driving my car the radiator makes gurgling noises and fills the over flow tank which overflows around the cap.

Any idea WHY?!

THANKS!!!!

Josh,

Are you sure your fans are coming on? What is your temp gauge reading? With your car up to temp and without the A/C on see if one or both of the fans are spinning. They should both spin at all times with the A/C on. After that, I would check your radiator cap. If it isn't holding the correct pressure then the fluid will flow into the overflow.

Thanks for the reply crash, long time no see, I checked what you said and have come to the conclusion that I am just low on fluid. I had it at the dealership a couple weeks ago I guess they did not fill it up all the way.

That or they didn't bleed the air out of the system. I played hell with mine once before.
