I just finished my turbo swap and when im driving the add coolant light comes on and starts buzzin. I slow down to a stop and coolant starts shooting out of the overflow resevoir (i didn't have a hood on at the time). I was driving about 20 mins, anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong?

 

kiss your coolant seals GOODBYE

 

before you start thinking coolant seals are gone... did you make sure to get ALL the air bubble out of the system? 1 air bubble will cause an aweful overheating problem.. i should know! when she is cool... just start the car w/ the radiator cap off, and let it idle till the thermostat opens.. youll notice the coolant drop, just keep filling till it doesnt drop anymore, and let all the air bubble escape... usually take 10-15 minutes tops!

and i had a horrible overheating problem for a while, till i fixed it... and the coolant seals were fine! damn air bubbles!

 

lol I just had to give him alittle scare, I was gonna come back after he posted and give him some advice. Mostl likely your seals are ok, unless you did some hard driving for those 20 minutes, and overheated. Its most likely air bubbles as vipers said

 

All right thanks guys, i'll bleed her a bit.

 

It is not loking good, it was spewing coolant from the overflow bottle. right now im guessing the coolant seals are fucked, is there anything else that I could possibly check?

 

check the pressure cap to make sure is working proper
