Likely a head gasket issue, especially if this is a 2.5L DOHC. The head gaskets on the 1998 Phase 1 Subaru 2.5L DOHC engines have a high failure rate.

We had the same problem with our LHS. We first replaced the thermostate and it still happened. So we keep looking and the lower radiator hose was colapsing. You might check the hoses after you replace the thermostate. Hope this helps.

the hoses leading to and from your radiator might be clogged. If you had a rusty radiator, the rust may have clogged the hoses that carry the coolant. you should check all your hoses and even flush them out.

Where is the thermostat on 2003 Kia Sorento?

I have a 2004 kia Sorento and just replaced the thermostat. Follow the bottom hose on the radiator up to the engine, remove the two bolts that hold the thermostate case to the motor (you can remove the hose from it if you want to, I was lazy and left it attached) and the thermostat is right there.
