7.3 puking Coolant NEED HELP

[Bearded wizard]

So did about an hour drive. Stopped at a gas station, shut the truck off and it began to gush a good amount of coolant out. The reservoir was almost over flowing, went inside to get fuel and let it cool off. As I got back the level of the reservoir dropped to normal level. Drove it again for about a 25 minute drive. Shut it off and didn't leak at all. But did notice the reservoir level rose a bit. some help on this issue would greatly be appreciated. #### you can even text or call me at 786 908 5394 that would be much faster:hammer:

Did you have it overfilled?

 

[Bearded wizard]

No sir

 

[Bearded wizard]

I actually needed to add a bit a few days ago

 

[Lt.Dan]

Sounds like it was just overfilled. As you said it was gushing out of there, but then when you opened the hood it was at the normal level? Then you drove a little further, and it was still around the normal level? (Granted a little higher, but not much right?)

Maybe when you added it a few days ago, you over filled it? Or you filled it when cold, then when it expanded it over flowed?

 

[Bearded wizard]

See well I had to put some but never actually did it , just realized it. And when i popped the hood it was way above max no bubbles though

 

[Lt.Dan]

Hmm, maybe run a pressure test on the cooling system? See if it has a leak or is crossing with something else.

 

[Bearded wizard]

Just really caught me off guard , I would expect it to leak with the tuck on not just dump when I shut it off

 

[Magnum PD]

Radiator clean?

 

[Bearded wizard]

Yeah

Could just be the cap, when they can't hold the pressure when you turn it off and
the heat of the engine heats up the fluid in the block.
