Ok so everytime i drive, and then turn my car off i can actually hear the coolant in my resvoir boiling, and is leaking?! Any ideas what could cause this, i have a 99 z24. -thanks
Can you see it leaking, or are you just continually losing coolant? My first guess would be either a water pump, or the head gasket.
na its actually coming outta the reservoir
Reservoir overfilled? Incorrect antifreeze/water mixture? Air in the system?
Have you tried replacing the cap? If it can't get the pressure up in the system it'll boil over but I think you can take the cap to get tested. Hows your electric fan working?

ya duh.. obviously the cap everyone is throwing outrageous things...
thats a great sig too lol
Check you coolant to see if the boiling point is good. If it isnt change the coolant.
If the boiling point is good, and your cap is good, you have a cylinder head problem, either a bad gasket or cracked head.

Is your engine overheating by chance? Id check your thermostat ... never hurts

have a mechanic replace the head gasket. i just got done with having the same problems. First my waterpump finally went. it was goin from the time on. then after i replaced that even tho it needed it. i was still having the same problem. i finally got tired of dealing with the trouble myself so i took it to a shop. The mechanic went ahead and replaced the head gasket and since i have had no trouble, minus the lil air in the system creating those nasty air pockets. my engine gets hot every now and then but the problem was fixed when the new head gasket went on.
ya just replace the water pump and headgasket for 2g's lol not a problem
sometimes its not the Gasket, its the cylinder head surface that warps.
Replace the cap and go from there...
My car did the same thing make sure all the air is out of the system and buy a new cap, problem solved
