My daughters car boiled over while I was out of town, when I heard what happened I assumed it was the thermostat. I changed the thermostat but it does not seem to have fixed my problem. I serviced the system with just water to check for leaks and was going to change to coolant after leak checking it. As the system started to warm up it begain to dump fluid out of the over flow hose on the puke tank. Now what?

Get it block and pressure tested to identify what's causing it to overheat/boilover. Pressure test radiator cap.
