Are you saying coolant is over flowing out of the Radiator overflow tank?

Just had the same thing happend to my fiancés car this last summer, the Rad was clogged. New ones go for 120ish$ Is it over heating too?

 

Comp I don't think would tell you much being that old, unless the cel is on.

yea its going into the overflow tank and i just put a new radiator in it 3 weeks ago and its starting to run a little hot

New or used?

the radiator was new

Water pump belts look fine? When was the last water pump done?

the belts look to be in good shape and the water pump was replaced around 4 weeks ago

Mk so pretty much the hole water system was replaced. Well the only other thing I can think of is a blown headgasket from I between the cyl and te water jackets. (causing pressure in the water system). Bubbles under the rad cap when its on?

 

Did it get hot before you replaced all this stuff?

yea the old radiator sprung a leak when my dad was driving it home last month i was thinking it was a head gasket also but i dont think i will be fixing this one

thanks for the info

No prob. There not that bad to replace your self. Took me 2 (weekend) with no exps.

Use a Subaru OEM thermostat (if you are not already). They are like $15 and there is a big difference.
