baffled, dumbstruck
lately my car has had trouble over heating, well the timeing belt went out, so when we replaced the timing belt, we replaced the water pump too, , and we have all new hoses, which seemed to fix things, for a while. then, i cracked my radiator, whic was ok i guess, because it had never been replaced. but now its overheating again. something is pushing all the coolant back into the resevior causeing it to overflow, at the cost of haveing no water in the system, and eventually over heating, what could cause all the coolant to be pushed BACK into the resevior? please, this is causing me alot of frustration, ive been fortuanate not to loose my engine, but i can only get so lucky

check both the thermostat and the pressure cap (the cap ontop of your radiator) if it is blown, it will allow expanding liquid inside the rad to excape into the overflow before it should. this COULD but probably wont cause overheating problems.
