As in, it's pushing the water out of the system via the overflow tank overflow?

Don't let it get warmer than normal..

I had something that sounds the same, and it was a bad coolant seal :/ Look in the second gen tech. section for how to diagnose it for sure.

yeah 1.3bar or 14psi. i just went to shucks/auto zone for some plain caps. i caps were leaking. it is said to change out your caps every time you flush the coolant.
