Hey everyone, it's been a long time since my last post. Car still runs beautifully but my first ever problem arose that perhaps a friendly user might help me solve, or know of the page that solves it.
So my coolant has been boiling out of the reservoir after driving on the freeway and coming to a stop. I tried changing the thermostat, maybe the thermostat is defective? Well assuming it's not (I do plan on going back to the dealership and asking for a new one in exchange however) perhaps it may be something else. Does anyone know where the sensor to monitor the temperature of the coolant before the radiator fan kicks in is? I'm having trouble searching for it, but I figured that if I change the sensor and the thermostat (again) then maybe my problems would be solved. Also if anyone has any idea as to why it continues to do this, with all appreciation I urge you to please respond. Thank you and much love, Rafael.

Thank you all for helping a poor fool like I, much love and it is appreciated.
First thing is to check compression (after I find out how to do such a task) Second is to check the sensor and switch mentioned Third is to flush out my radiator Fourth is to change out the fans if it needs it Fifth is to change the head gasket (which I really hope it doesn't come down to) Once again thank you all so much. -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner!
