Subject:      Expansion Tank Cap Problem?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

I am experienceing a new cooling problem.  First, the radiator and
thermostat are new.  The problem is that after heating up and parking,
coolant is leaking out the back end.  Hoses are OK, expansion tank is sound.
I think I observed fluid "boiling" out the top of the reservoir!  Temp gauge
is a little high--on top end of the red blinking light.  Red blinking light
blinks--by the way, what is it suppose to indicate?  As long as I replenish
the fluid, I can keep going, but not a long term solution.
