It would solve the head gasket or a cracked head.

asuming the vehicle has a 4 cylinder, the exhaust manifold would be facing the radiator. 6 cyl. would also have one facing the firewall. You can figure it out simply by tracing your exhaust system from back to front. tail pipe - muffler - exhaust pipe - catalytic converter - exhaust pipe - exhaust manifold - engine.
Blown headgasket.
it sounds like your coolant over flow tank is leaking. it is a common problem with these cars. might also check your radiator for leaks or your exhaust for coolant, but if there is coolant in your exhaust that would mean blown heads
Fixing a microwave would depend on what the problem is that it's having.
Fixing the problem would seem to be reasonable.
I THINK that you will be able to fit an exhaust from the Yamaha XJ650/750 air-cooled Maxims. They share the same frame, the difference being that the Maxim-X is liquid cooled. Getting the exhausts to clear the radiator shouldn't be a problem as the radiator sits above the exhausts (I have the 750 and it shares the same frame, there are mounts on the frame for the radiator). A good place to find out for definite would be www.xjbikes.com. I'm sure someone will have tried the swap on there.
MY 1995 DAKOTA got hot because the radiator was rusted out. The fins on the radiator would crumble just by touching it. Replaced radiator, problem solved.
AnswerCheck under the input shaft of the water pump. If there is a colored streak, it's probably leaking there.Leaking head gasket could allow coolant to pass out the exhaust. There would be a sweet smell at the tail pipe.Had a problem like this once. Have the radiator pressure tested and look for leaks. Could be coming from the weep hole as stated above. Generally if antifreeze is in the exhaust the tail pipe will blow white smoke. My problem was a frost plug had a small rust crack in it allowing the coolant to escape and burn off the exhaust. Same problem as what you are experiencing. Drive the car get it hot and open the hood to see if you can smell the antifreeze. If you can there is a leak somewhere. A bad radiator cap will do this also.
You have a problem with your carburator. Have it looked at
Fixing the problem which causes it would be the first step.
more than likely the head gasket
could be a headgasket is blown, check the oil to see if it has water or if the exhaust smells like coolant. I had a problem with my 1992 Thuderbird. I would go to work everyday, about 10 miles and when I got in the car that evening it would overheat on the way home due to lack of water. As long as I ran the car from 10 miles to my parents home 275 miles away I had no problem. When I stopped the car, the next time I started it the water was low. I changed the water pump, thermostat, and cooling system fluid. I had no visible leaks, under the car, out of the exhaust, and the engine oil was clean. It turned out to be a head gasket. I took the engine apart, replaced the headgaskets, and it corrected the problem. I suspected as long as the engine was running the pressure of the engine and the radiator pressure were equal, when I stopped the high pressure in the radiator forced the water into the engine and out the exhaust.
