vigorous boiling - water lost thro overflowautogirl 05-15-2004, 05:29 PM Mom wants her car back :( Got new radiator cap. Flushed (I thought) radiator, filled & let set for 2 days. No leaks. When started, the water in the overflow bottle started running out. After water level dropped below overflow, (5-10 min) just blew bubbles, then water started really bubbling, almost erupting, water bubbled harder. Like water boiling inside bottle. Where's the air coming from ? What's going on? '88 Caravan. - - - - - - Autogirl BleedDodge 05-16-2004, 01:43 PM It must be pressurizing somewhere. Take it to a mechanic. pind 05-16-2004, 02:41 PM sounds like you have a corrupted head gasket. Combustion chamber pressure releasing into the water jacket. Best thing to do is a cooling system pressure test, and a leakdown compression test. this will tell you where the problem is. by pressuring up one cylinder at a time, you will be able to find out exactly where the air is coming from. good luck vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
