    coolant overflow leaking ?? wtf ??

    This thing has 100 km on the clock and i just got home. I was hearing coolant boiling and the temps was at 104 and the fan running..

    i shut it down and it starts to flow coolant out..è


    what the hell is this ?? bad coolant cap ?? i hope so. i tried to tighten it up but it seems to be fully tight.

    Head gasket??

    what else??

    What am i looking for ? bad quality? My problem is coolant overflow, not a pipe bursting.

    If the coolant boils at 104 C that means the coolant system does not hold the presure. Most likely bad quality cap, but I won't be surprised if it's something else...

    I had these symptoms, it was a faulty radiator cap which wasn't releasing causing a pressure build up in the hoses.

    Fixed under warranty.
