Hi Macooper,

Where exactly is it gushing out? Is it coming out of the cap when the vehicle is running or is leaking out?

Maybe get a video of it doing it unless this is happening when it is overheating. If that is the case, I don't need a video, just that level of detail so I can best assist. Thanks

I replaced lower radiator hose, refilled with water and radiator flush. When car reaches operating temperature water gushes out of coolant tank with cap open.

Hi and welcome to 2carpros. As KASEKENNY1 stated earlier. Can you upload a video to see what is going on? What happens if you leave the cap on for 5 minutes and open the cap up? Also is there exhaust fume smells coming from the bottle? Let us know please.
