Default Overheating issue

Ok I went for a drive the other day and noticed my car was overheating. So I decided to drive back home. I opened the Hood and there was Coolant coming out of the top of the Resivoir. Also the Top hose of the Radiator was leaking fluid out of it like there was really bad back pressure. Any one have a clue why it would do that?

most likely ur thermostat closed on you. if the top hose is hot and the bottom hose is cold then u know its only a 7$ for the thermostat and gasket. good luck

Ok So I replaced the Radiator and the Thermostat today... Let the Car Run for 5 minutes and the Temp goes Up to H... The Upper hose is HOT and the lower hose is Cool... Is this a bad thermostat or is the system clogged???

you probably have air inside your hoses, your suppose to put coolant (i used water) inside your new radiator until it fills to the top and make sure your resevoir is filled to its max level marking, doing this will make sure that all the air that went inside your hose gets out of the radiator, you will know that you have bubbles coming out when you pour water or coolant inside your radiator, once your resevoir and radiator is filled with coolant or water turn on your car and let it run you will notice that both of your hoses and radiator should be hot and you will notice that your temperature went down, if not all the way to the cold mark
GOOD LUCK!
