1996 Chrysler LHS

My engine coolant reservoir is dumping coolant out of the dump line resulting in low fluid level and overheating as a result. What could be the cause for this?

I had a similar problem. Fixed by replacing the reservoir cap with a new one. Also, be sure to bleed your cooling system (bleeder is on the thermostat housing).
