    Coolant overflow

    So the overflow tank is completely full after driving around for awhile. I changed the water pump a few months ago so I don't think that's the issue. What could cause this?

    Leaking pressure cap. Find someone with a pressure tester and check the cap.

    Looks like a popped head gasket Filled up the radiator and started it up with the cap off to burp the system. Tons of air bubbles coming out of the radiator and white smoke from the exhaust. Checked the dipstick and the oil has a greenish tint to it. Looks like the car is going to be sidelined for a long while. I don't really have the ability to change a head gasket and don't want to spend the money to have it towed and fixed right now. Any mechanic types around NWA that want to come over and fix it? Lol!

    Well, it would have been much more better if it was a bad radiator cap.

    Sorry.

    So I found a shop that can fix it. Saying about $1000 or so IF the head isn't cracked. Which with my luck with this car, I bet it is.
