    Is it getting hot while running? Or pressurising and blowing fluid when you stop?
    I've just recently gone through the whole scenario myself and it turned out to be a $15 expansion tank cap :roll:
    I'd be replacing that first. C.P.C. Auto components (available from Autopro e.t.c.) part #572 135. :wink:

    Wish we had a n FAQ.

    When does it overheat?. I bet going slowly. If I am correct , buy a new viscous coupling.
    If going fast you have zee biiig problem, either a head gasket or slipped sleeve.

    Kitch,

    Without wishing to quench your question this place has accumulated a shirt load of information over the last few years.

    Overheating seems to be a problem lately for many reasons.

    Well there is sort of...and it is called Common Threads.

    As a Mod of that section I am happy to string together stuff relating to this issue but it seems that using the AULRO Search facility is a method that people should use first. Just because the FAQ is there doesn't mean that people will look there. :roll:

    There have been about 8000 topics posted, 3000 of which have been on the technical forum.

    So a simple search using "overheating" will reveal 84 topics. That narrows it down and a quick scan reveals much.

    So for those who don't know:

    People should do their research first and then ask all they like :wink:

    And that way people like PhilipA and Disco95 can help more effectively
