Coolant problems
Okay so heres the deal. for some reason after running my car for a while then shutting it off my radiator seems to have a huge amount of pressure and spit coolant out my over flow. what causes this? my thermostat on the hud doesnt read that i am over heating. Would it be my water pump, radiator, seal? My water pump was replaced in may, but im not sure if it was used or new.
thanks for all your help.

Sounds like the rad cap isn't venting properly. Try a new one.
[edit] Thought about this some more and . It may also be a blown coolant seal inside the engine. Easiest way to check on that is to crank the engine with the rad cap off. If coolant gushes/spews/pushes out then that's the problem.
