To make a long story short-my coolant keeps over-flowing out of the reservoir.
It started on idle, the car would spontaneously spit all of its coolant out of the reservoir while i was venting the air (in the cabin).
So i filled it incorrectly, and it happens again. It basically spits out ALL the coolant i put in it.
Today i got home with 3 gallons of 50/50 prestone antifreeze. Filled it up at the cross-over tube and the reservoir started filling as i was doing this. It took a little over 2 gallons.
Test drive! Drove good, came back to check for leaks-found none.
Test drive again! Stomped first gear hit second and temp skyrocketed... Popped the hood and waited for it to cool, got back into my spot (litterally 10 seconds away).
The end result... All the coolant leaked out again from the reservoir cap! This is a new cap too.
What gives???
