Why is my radiator pushing coolant into the overflow tank?
My radiator seems to be pushing the coolant into the overflow tank. When I am done driving and i take off the radiator cap the radiator is low, no coolant above the fins. but the over flow tank is full and it pushes coolant out the top hose on the over flow tank. I can see the coolant dripping down the fender well.???????
What to do if coolant comes out of overflow tube?
Radiator cap would be the first thing to replace. Then check the coolant level in both the radiator and the reservior. If your overflow reservoir is the type with both the tube from the radiator and the overflow tube attached, then the two tubes have been switched. Another possibility – head gasket.
Why is my 2004 Chevy tracker spitting coolant?
2004 Chevy Tracker started spitting coolant from the overflow tank. No overheating problems or leaks beforehand until now. Without any warning, most of the coolant had blown out of the overflow tank. After allowing it to cool for a couple of hours, I refilled the radiator and overflow tank to recommended levels.

I have noticed that after driving and the car has cooled down that the water in the overflow has increased. When I open the radiator cap you can hear air/pressure noise and the radiator takes about 3/4 to 1ltr water to top back up.
What to do if radiator pushes coolant into resivior?
One for sure way is to take it to a shop, and have them test the the cooling system for HydroCarbons. Some might even do it for free since it takes only a second to do. Just warm it up, pull the radiator cap. Stick the exhaust gas analyzer just above the radiator opening, and if there is hc’s in it, you know you have a blown head gasket.
