coolant is backing up in car and causing the car to over heat. when trying to add more coolant; when removing the cap the coolant explodes like a volcano and is a red orange color. Any ideas on what the problem could be and how to fix it?

Are you trying to remove the cap when the engine is hot when it explodes like a volcano?
