So recently the weather here has been getting a little warm (about 90-95 degrees), apparently my turbo b16 doesn't like it so much....

but after about 40+ minutes of continuous driving, my temp gauge starts to rise until it's pointing at a 45 degree angle, I pop my hood to find coolant outside the resivoir tank...WTF?

So apparently, when my car gets a little warm, coolant comes out my res. tank???

Is there a way to solve this problem? Maybe my thermostat is toast? (the thermo i'm running right now is one of those "fail safe" ones, which lock open when they blow)

someone help me...

I've seen hondas with blown headgasktets do that. I'm not saying thats what it is, but i have seen them push coolant out with such pressure that it comes out around the cap for the resivoir. The last car i saw this on ran fine otherwise too, had no other obvious symptoms of a blown headgasket.

 

yeah,

my car has no symptoms whatsoever of a blown headgasket...

I was thinking maybe I just filled up the res. tank too high a couple days ago, since I filled it up a little past "max" and I also fully filled up the radiator too.
