coolent tank?

[GT Rob]

Just got back from wrok and my son notice that smoke was coming out from under my hood. So when I opened it it was the coolent coming from the coolent tank out of that little hole on top and it was bubbling and I'm trying to figure out why. Any idea why

Did you fill up the coolant tank and then drive it for awhile? Its just from it getting hot/ since its actually an over flow tank aswell there was probably to much coolant and heat so it just over flowed and out the hole it went. Coolant bubbling in the reservoir in a little strange to me.
Was your car running hot, or hotter than usual?
Did you change fluids/ re-fill your coolant?

It was running. In N.O. of normal. And the radiator. Thurmostat and water pump where replaced and I thought I abrupt the system good enough

Check/replace your radiator cap as well. The spring in the cap lets coolant from the radiator to the overflow, as the car cools the overflow will feed back into the radiator. So if you filled it when cold, and filled past the 'cold' line, it will bubble over. And since the collant is hot, it will steam.

Ok I guess nothing to worry about then

try and "burp" it again to make sure there are no air bubbles in the system. if it happens repeatedly, you might have a head gasket issue.
