After longish drives my coolant overflows. Temp gauge sits exactly in the middle but as soon as I park after a drive it overflows. It could be my radiator but I'm not 100% sure. Thermostat was replaced only a few months ago, and my cap was replaced at the same time. Any other ideas as to what it could be?

I just had a thought. When the thermostat was replaced, was the cooling system burped? I would say to try burping it now, but you already took it to the mechanic.

Good news!! Apparently the radiator cap I bought was faulty and it just needed a new one. That's what I get for buying cheap parts.
