today i drove my car for about 15 min 1st time in a month because of the weather and when i shut her off coolant starting coming out the overflow on the pass. side of the vehicle. If any body has any info would like to thank in advance. (I live in ny alot of snow)

 

There are too many possible causes to diagnose with just this info. There are a lot of threads on coolant loss if you search.

However, a couple of possible causes:

1) did the coolant have enough antifreeze to prevent freezing? If not the rad could have frozen and blocked coolant flow, causing overheating.

2) is it possible the thermostat did not open?

3) was the coolant level OK when you started? No low-coolant light?

 

How old is your engine?

 

had add a little coolant before starting not even 1/4 of a gallonjust topped off is it possible i overfilled the over flow tank. had rebiuild 13,000 miles ago

 

It's likely you overfilled the system, it also posable that the coolant is not being draw back into the cooling system on cool down. check the cap on the AST and the Hose from the AST to the overflow tank for leaks.

 

I had this issue when I over filled my system. there is a hold in the coolant over flow box on the pass side that the coolant will come out of if it's too full.

 

There is a dipstick (or there should be) with a lot of cross-slots in the overflow tank. The full mark is ~12-in below the top filler cap of the overflow tank.

It's really easy to overfill, especially if the dipstick is missing!

 

thanks for the input guys my coolant res was overfilled thanks again
