I had the overflow container spring a leak. I'd bring it to a good rad shop
and let them test your system. It could be a lotta different things.

Subject: Over heating question

45min) then the car starts to over heat really bad. When I pulled over in a
gas station and popped the cap (on a 1600) begin careful due to pressure and
hot water, it blew lots of steam out and then a show of water followed. I
then put in more water to cool the car off and things were fine. This has
happened twice now. Any thought. I am not sure where the water is going,
(not into the oil though)

other thoughts?
