If water is blowing out of your radiator, then chances are you have a blown head gasket, cracked head, or warped head. Any of these will create a breach in your cooling system and allow combustion gases from the cylinders to enter the cooling system. This will iterally blow your coolant out of the radiator. The only way to fix this is to fix the breach in your cooling system by replacing the head gasket or the head. If the head is warped, it may be possible to straighten and/or resurface it.

Which is the supply line on a radiator?
The lower radiator hose supplies the water pump. The upper radiator hose supplies the radiator.
Why doesn't the radiator pull the water back from the reservoir even if the radiator cap is new?
If the radiator is not pulling water from the reservoir even with a new cap, there may be an issue with the radiator itself such as a clog, a faulty radiator inlet/outlet, or a malfunctioning water pump. It is recommended to have the radiator system inspected by a professional to diagnose and resolve the problem.
Why would a radiator lose water?
A radiator can lose water due to a leak in the radiator itself, a leak in a hose connected to the radiator, or a faulty radiator cap that doesn't maintain proper pressure. Regular maintenance checks can help identify and address any issues to prevent water loss.
Why is Water Boiling in radiator?
Water may boil in a radiator due to high engine temperatures, low coolant levels, a faulty thermostat, or a malfunctioning radiator cap. When the cooling system is unable to regulate the engine temperature effectively, the water in the radiator can reach its boiling point and create steam. It is important to address this issue promptly to prevent engine damage.
How does a hot water radiator heat a room?
A hot water radiator heats a room by circulating hot water through a series of pipes inside the radiator. The hot water transfers its heat to the metal of the radiator, which then radiates warmth into the room through convection and radiation. This warms the air in the room and increases the overall temperature.
What does a blown radiator look like?

On 1991 Mercedes 190E When you try to regulate temperature using knobs it does not provide heat or cool air Replaced heater core and it still does not work Blower works?
To confirm your problem, the fan blows air but it is not heated?? I am not sure if there is a heater core in this car. The heat is generated in the engine and is transfered by a series of water pipes to a heating element(radiator) under the dash-board, the fan blows air over this radiator, it heats up and blows into the car. Things to check 1. see if the mechanical links between the temp. switches and the valves which control the flow of hot water into the radiator are functional.
