THE CAUSE COULD BE A STUCK THERMOSTAT , OR A BLOWN HEAD GASKET, OR A LEAK IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD OR INTAKE MANIFLOD GASKET. A CRACK IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD IS VERY COMMON.. NORTY
your radiator broke!!!!
the radiator cap is a pressure regulating device if it is blocked for some reason the pressure in the cooling system could blow it off
A radiator cap would not cause a leak! However, if the radiator cap is holding pressure, other weak parts could signal issues in need of attention.
Perhaps thermostat is not opening
The pressure from the radiator is pushing out through the overflow canister. Probably solved with new radiator cap but could be an indication of head gasket problems if pressure gets too high.
No, this could mean you have a cracked head gasket and engine pressure has entered the coolant.
Defective radiator cap? Leak in system (Pressure test)? Head gasket?
yes it can
Yes, a restricted or leaking radiator can cause the engine to overheat.
If the radiator or reservoir cap is bad it could cause overheating because the system will not build up the proper pressure. Also the fan clutch could be worn out which would keep the fan from spinning fast enough to cool the radiator.
Could be a leak in a radiator hose, or radiator. ==Answer 2, Another Possibility== It could also be the radiator cap pressure relief valve action which vents coolant and/or coolant vapor to the coolant overflow reservoir/tank when steam is created in the coolant passages in the engine block. When the engine is shut off, the residual heat in the block can cause the additional pressure and/or steam.j3h.
It could be the radiator is clogged. The thermostat could be bad (prevents the coolant from circulating from radiator to engine block)
