    bad rad cap??

    last summer i had my car at a garage b/c the power steering pump went and it was spitting antifreeze out the ressy. So they told me they fixed it and shit and it was covered under warrenty. They said they took the heads off to see if it was head gaskets,supposidly they sent the heads out and shit to see if they were scared at all...they came back clean..so they repalce the gaskets and put the heads back on. but now it is doin the same shit it was...it dont over heat at all.nothing like that..oh and instead of just puttin antifreeze back in it they put some kind of stop leak in it too..so it makes me wonder if they really did all that work?! But anyway i was wondering if anyone had any ideas?it didnt do it all winter..until now. Its like 85-90 degrees

    I am guessing you are talking about it pushing coolant out the power steering resoviour. IF so its the power steering cooler in the lower rad hose, that two piece aluminum pipe looking thing.

    Get that replaced and flush booth systems out.

    Yea it can happen, rarely but it has come up a couple of times. I would replace the rad cap first and see what that does.
