87 N/a Bad Coolant Seal I Think Help

OK when i start the car cold and take the rad cap off it bubbles and spits coolant out the over flow hose!! and i have tons of vapor comming out the exhaust!! if i put my hand in front of the muffler my hand gets wet!!

If it is a bad coolant seal would it be cheaper to tke the ting apart and replace it or to just get a rebuilt one!!

and if i do take it apart do i need to replace anything else well i'm in there

Thanks!

if any one would like the car i'm willing to sell

I'ts a 87 n/a 5 speed base model!! black in side and out has nice shiny paint,, does have dings and dents but it's normal ware for the age!! and the inside is missing some trim around the radio and the dummylight!! the tranny shifts great and the car drives great,, just the other night it wont hold coolant!!

Thanks

take it to a local shop, and get them to rebuild it for you, or you could order a reman.

go to Kevin Landers web page.there is some great info there.you might be able to fix the problem until you are able to find someone to rebuild.Kevin also does that at a great price.
