today smoke started comming out of the hood when i got back to the house. when i opened the hood, hot antifreeze was all over the engine bay (this is the second time this has happened). i have noticed that alittle too much fluid has been comming out of that drain hose on the radiator. i have used 13 and 15 lb. caps and the same thing happens. anyone know what my problem is? thanks -robert-

Your engine is either overheating, probably due to a bad thermostat, or you have a combustion leak (bad head gasket). Process of elimination.

if you have a blow head gasket often there will be a film of oil in your coolant, same look oil gets when on wet pavment.

Have you checked that pesky by-pass hose? had one develope a split, drove me crazy for a week as it would not revel itself with the hood open.

I have had 2-/6 by-pass hoses spilt on me. Both were very clear, was it a small spilt?

my 76 volare with 53000 miles started runing warmer than normal but i did'nt let it get over heated and since i had done been thru this before with my 78 dip i knew what to do this time,i ordered a new radiator online and 3 days later new rad on and problem solved.
