Engine Cooling problem
1996 Geo Metro 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 10000+ miles

The vehicle has recently started to eject coolant through the overflow jug. This occurs after the vehicle has been driven and is in parked position at destination. Cannot repeat problem when attempting to reproduce at idle.
No white smoke at tailpipe, no continuous bubble flow at radiator fill cap re head gasket problem, no leaks detected under vehicle.

The vehicle has recently started to eject coolant through the overflow jug. It means its overheating -could be the thermostat, clogged-up radiator, cooilng fan not coming on,defective water pump-if it continues when above are checked out-Get it block and pressure tested to rule out the headgasket cracked head or block/intake manifold leak
