| Before I start, thanks for reading this Z Gods. I have been having overheating issues for some time now. I blew my water pump a few months back, so I replaced my water pump, thermostat and installed new belts. I was able to drive it for about two weeks off and on and out of know where it started to overheat again. All my fluid was dumping from where the resevoir is at near the left front tire. I read up on it and everything is pointing to a blown head gasket but I am hoping that is not the case. This evening I had some time so I thought I would give it another shot. It was already lifted and realized by resevoir tank was drained from the last time it overheated on me. I drained the fluid from the radiator which was barely any and removed the resevoir tank to clean and ensure no gunk was left inside. I re-installed the tank and filled the radiator up with fluid. I started the engine and let it run for about 30-45 minutes as i revved the engine to allow the car to warm up. As I revved it, I noticed water or fluid comingout of my exhaust when I revv the engine. I dont know what might be causing that since I am still learning about this car. As it warmed up, I slowly started to see the tach rising as the care heated up. In doing so, I started to hear popping from inside the coolant resevoir like popcorn was being cooked in their. I turned the car off to cool down and told myself its time to make a post and ask for help. THere is no leaking from any of the hoses. If anyone has an idea or feels like I need to do something different feel free to let me know. I appreciate all your help in advance. Rigo
