Odd Coolant Issue

Bshields22

Hey fellas,

Had something odd happen to me at Autoclub Speedway. I got done with my heat (oil and engine temp guages were fine) park the Z back in the garage as I usually do. When I turned the car off i could hear a boiling sound...a very small amount of steam left the hood and then suddenly I am seeing A TON of coolant come down from under the car.

Decided to let it cool. As it cooled down for a bit I put more coolant in thinking that it just overflowed (from the bottom??). Coolant stayed in the system and "circulated??" but when i started to drive the engine go hot again after about 50 feet....boiling sound again and then after i parked it the coolant started to come out again.

So far the consensus is...busted thermostat, hose issue, cracked radiator or bad water pump.

Thoughts? Similar issue you have experienced?

Just FYI I have a 34 row oil cooler. not that its too relevant but it does block the radiator a bit....



Thanks!
