Okay, So I put a new radiator into my 94 GT. Everything is working fine... However - If I drive, say, 10 miles, everything is cool. No problems. If I drive, say, 20 miles or longer, I'm getting coolant coming out of the little hole near the top of my reservoir. it's gathering underneath my battery. Has anyone had this problem? All my hoses are clean and not blocked. And again, for short distances, she's totally cool. I don't get it. At a loss, LD -------------------- My new, blue spark plug wires gave my Celica, roughly, 250 more horsepower..

Okay, I took her for another ride.
My coolant was topped off and my reservoir wasn't over filled. I drove up the road (50-55 mph) for about 10 miles. Pulled over, checked it out, and there wasn't any overflow. The temp gauge was at about 1/3 As I approached 15-17 miles, my temp gauge jumped up to just under halfway. I pulled over, jumped out and checked, and sure enough, there's this "puke spot" of coolant all around my battery. It wasn't continuing to ooze out. Just the puke spot. Weird, right? So I drove home and the temp gauge stayed right at under halfway. When I pulled into my driveway, I checked again and there doesn't seem to be any more that came out. Like the coolant puked once. I'm gonna check the level after she cools down. Also, It's 82 degrees here and the heat worked while driving. Weird, right?
