i have a 95 honda accord which is over heating. the problem started when the heater hose busted and i replaced it. it still over heats if it idles too long. i noticed steam coming out of the resovoir. could it be a bad resovoir? or is the problem else where? there is no apperant leaks and it is not the head gasket, because the oil looks good. thanks.

Hi there,

Change the thermostat, clean & flow test the radiator, check the pressure cap is holding pressure, check cooling fans are working, and get a Co head check done to be sure.
