over-pressurized! could be a bad coolant seal. you need to get it tested asap! tow it to a good rotary mech.

You are 18 with no previous mechanical experience and you own an FD3S?

Apparently you didn't do your research. That problem is going to cost you 30,000$ US dollars to fix. I suggest you sell the car - it's terminal.
