When I stop the engine after a trip, the water in the plastic container right next to the radiator begins to boil and then leaks from there. This doesn`t happen when the engines is running and also the leaking is not from the water pump or the radiator. What can I do

Pressure test the radiator cap if okay-check and test the thermostat, also could be air in the system. If it continues to boil over get it block and pressure tested.
