Coolant Reservoir Bubbling
Hello. Lately I have been noticing when my car is quite warm coolant reservoir bubbles and spits out the top of the cap has anyone experienced this and is this normal and if not what should I be looking for?

Hope the video works!

Quite often it happens because the radiator cap is defective. If you cannot visualize any leaks in the system, R&R radiator cap.

Is it a reservoir or a puke tank? If the cap is not set to draw fluid in and out then its a puke tank. This is probably a symptom of over filling the radiator.
