    Default im stumped with this

    my problem is that my vs caprice has overheated, i let it cool down then took it home, after a while i went out took radiator cap off to check for water and then went and started it, when i started it it blew water out of the radiator, not just a little it nearly cleared the radiator, i dropped the oil thinkin cracked heads or gasket but there was no oil in radiator and no water in oil, i am not that clued on with cars so can anybody give me an idea as to what the problem may be.

    best to get a compression test and a T.K test, the t.k test will show exhaust gasses in the cooling system.

    a stuck thurmo stat will spit the coolent out also cracked head etc, it dosnt sound good for ya
