Re: 99 3.1 V6 coolant loss overflow tube

Goto NAPA and get a hydrocarbon sniffer for your coolant. Still sounds like heads or gaskets to me. Only way to introduce large amounts of pressure into the coolant before it overheats. You said it dumped a bunch right out of your driveway. A sniffer will tell you, you shouldn't have any hydrocarbons in your coolant. If you do You know what the deal is.
Heads, gaskets, or heaven forbid a block....
