Subject: coolant reserve tank woes
>Hi everyone
>
>What does it mean when you open the coolant reserve tank when the engine
>is cold and you get a spray of water from it? I went out to check my
>coolant level this morning and that's what happened. I took off the
>reserve tank cap first and I got a suprise spray of water. The coolant
>level is fine. Shouldn't the coolant be sucked back into the radiator
>when the engine cools? What would cause coolant to be let in but not be
>sucked back out? I'll check the hose tomorrow on my day off. Any other
>suggestions?

>Thanks alot,
