Well this is perfect timing. I have just had a similar problem with my car. I had taken it to my old high school for an alumni event and it overheated in the parking lot. I bled the system, and now its been blowing antifreeze out of the overflow tube at temp. My assumption is that the person who I bought the car from had an incorrect mixuture of water/antifreeze in the car, mostly water I assume. I poures in straight antifreeze and seemed to help. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE AIR OUT. -Jay --- In dmcnews@xxxx, "Ryan Foster" <westiething@xxxx> wrote: > Hey list, > I have been having overheating problems with my DMC.
