Overheat
Hi CHaps!
I've got a problem with the car and I can't find a simular thread In here so here it goes.
My classic started to overheat when I was driving along in a town...and it also pushed water out of the header tank by the power steering pump.
It happened for the first time and firstly I thought it might be a thermostat but it was recently changed with a water pump...the cars heater also blows the cold air...and when she's idle with open cap it doesn't overheat..
I tried to top up some water with a heater on cause I thought It might be an air lock...but It didn't help..
I'm just praing it's not a head gasket..
Thanks in advance

100% head issue. If you feel the bottom hose and rev the engine you will feel the coolant system pressuring up. It's wont show on ideal as much as the pressure isn't as high, when your car is boosting the pressure in one of the cylinders is escaping

if its coming out of header tank (not via the pipe to the expansion bottle) you have a leak.
if its coming out by battery you have hg issues.
if its coming out of header tank (they are prone to fail) this means its loosing coolant and that could be whys its over heating.

Hi there again guys!
after four months I took the car out of the garage...and want to check the cooling system..because I don't think it's a head gasket. .. engine only has 70k miles...
so where would you say should I start?
How to tell that whether radiator is blocked or thermostat is stuck...or what other options do I have.
Thanks for your opinions.
