T2 needs help

Ok here is the thing, if I drive my car like 2 miles the temp gauge will go up are down a bit and when I get home I pop the hood and the overflow tank is BOILING! I am thinking coolant seals(internal) but I am kinda undecided. Any info on this would be great. Oh yeah also, I believe that there is a small leak in the seal for the water pump.

I replaced the thermostat not long ago and my ratio is kinda fucked up right now. But here is the latest, I was driving and I went maybe 2 miles when it started to get warm again, so I stoped and was going to leave my car until it cooled off enough to get it home. well I got out and coolant was SHOOTING out of my overflow tank! It was going out as fast as it could! What the hell would cause that?

I agree the engine water seals have gone bye, bye.Costly thing to fix.

IF the thermostart was replaced a while back it's probably not that. Try a new radiator cap and take the thermostat out and go for a ride. If the condition is the same....engines gone.

Little or no hope of it being any good.
