Default :more damned coolant issues:!! HELP

its been really hot here lately and ive noticed that i have alot of coolant in my resevoir tank, all most over flowing...when ever i stop and get out of the car it sounds like its boiling!!?!! i have no clue what could be causing it. i have an aftermarket 2" aluminum radiator and slim fan wired up to the OEM harness so it should keep it plenty cool or at least to stock specs.. and help would be much appreciated. thank you.

Maybe there's air in there.Have you tried bleeding the system?

Is it actually bubbling air? Could be a headgasket leak. Is there oil in the fluid? Any other symptoms?

Empty half of the coolant in the resovior tank and try again. Because the coolant should only be the the max line on the resovior, because when you car heats up the coolant level rises in the resv tank and when the motor cools down the level goes down back to normal. So maybe you have too, too much coolant in you resv tank and when your motor heats up it overflows. So take some out when you car is cool and see what happens. If not I'm stomped to becasue you say your coolant is clean of oil and you bled the coolant system!!!
