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..

a little odd. are you sure the cooling fans are coming on?
once its hot, does it idle normal or rough? runs smooth or rough? any misfires once its hot? -------------------- |
