the coolant is suppose to shoot up...that's how pressure is built...IF there's OIL in the coolant then that's a headgasket problem...i suggest getting new headgasket and getting your radiator flushed....let's see....i got a y8 (y7 same) headgasket for ~$35.00 at honda and i got my radiator flushed for about ~$45.00..so about $80.00...8)

might be your waterpump..check to see if you are leaking coolant..if so i'm pretty sure that's your problem..and if you're gonna get that done might as well do timing belt too...if your belt is getting worn out...good luck! 8)
