I just don't get it..

mine drove me nuts like that until a rad guy explained that the old style system in my car should only be filled to a 1/2 inch below the inner lower edge of the filler neck and that the rad was just puking out the extra which I kept refilling and it kept puking etc in a never ending cycle of DOH! lol

BINGO! older radiators had room to allow for expansion newer ones dont, so they need an expansion or overflow tank, it also works better this way
