Off the top of your heads what would be the most likely cause? There was some major hissing going on and none of the hoses were leaking but it was pissing coolant out of the overflow like a faucet. The temp didnt max out but it did go up to about 75%.



Any ideas? I want it fixed by monday if I can.



Thanks in advance,



Marc

basics would be:



thermostat or water pump as long as no coolant is coming out of the radiator or hoses.

then again it could be much worse



seriously though- put a new thermostat and flush the coolant, at the very least drain the radiator and fill it with clean coolant, then take it from there
