It might be clogged, thus not allowing enough flow
It means that the excess coolant is going where it is supposed to. The coolant expands when hot and goes to the over flow reservoir.
If there is no thermostat in the radiator, the coolant can flow too quickly through the system and fail to properly regulate the temperature. This can cause the coolant to boil over and be expelled from the radiator. Installing a thermostat can help control the flow of coolant and prevent overheating.
A radiator may boil over in a minute due to low coolant levels, a malfunctioning thermostat, a clogged radiator, or a faulty water pump. When coolant cannot circulate properly or regulate the engine temperature, it can quickly lead to overheating and boiling over.
Yes You bet! it is probably the source of your problem.
Low coolant, inoperative radiator fans, stuck thermostat, failed water pump, restricted radiator, head/headgasket.
there is no radiator cap only an over flow cap on the pass.side straight up from the pass.wheel
Sounds like you need to flush the radiator and replace the thermostat
doesen't have one. Have to do everything from the over flow.
The 1999 Ford Taurus does not have a radiator cap. Coolant is added by using the over flow bottle instead of a radiator cap.
There is not a raditor cap. Only the cap on the over flow bottle.
possible hole in hose
The plow blocks the flow of air to the radiator for cooling.
You'd have no heat or air and radiator would boil over causing vehicle damage.
