Coolant Flowing From The Overflow? - 6G Celicas Forums

I was working on my ride this evening.
Started her up to move her and noticed
coolant on the garage floor.

I popped the hood and started her up again
and saw coolant running down the overflow
hole on the resivoir. If you give her gas, she
sprays it from there right in front of the battery.

Is something clogged? Anyone have this
problem before? Any past experience with
this would be appreciated before I start
tearing stuff out.

Thanks in advance..

Last time I saw something like that it was a blown head gasket.

99% sure blown head gasket.

You start it, run it, and then coolant pours onto the pavement through the overfill tank outlet hose. Yep.

Damn!

That's totally what I didn't want to hear..
But thanks, guys. Looks like I have my
work cut out for me.

Check the radiator cap too. If it has failed any amount of pressure will cause coolant to come out of the overflow.

x3 - this $5/5min fix may be your only problem and you'd hate to do a lot of unecessary work and $$$ spending to find out it's something this simple. Most of the time coolant related issues can be traced to this one item noone ever seems to replace wink.gif

Thanks, guys.

Gonna do a flush tomorrow and replace the cap. She's been
in the garage since that night. I'll do all the cheap stuff first
before going for the brain surgery.
