Car overheats, radiator pushes coolant into the overflow tank

Disappearing coolant, chugging, terrible idle, white smoke from exhaust, "ice cream" in your PCV and valve cover, overheating, **** poor performance, etc.

For my cars it was chocolate milk for oil and white particles floating in the radiator. That and overheating.
