Engine Cooling problem
1992 Other Oldsmobile Models 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
when the car is first driven in the day it overheats even after the level is checked in the radiator. the fluid is being pushed out to the recovery tank. i have to let the engine cool, take off the radiator cap and let it drain back into the radiator. after that the car runs fine all day. i have changed the thermostat and radiator cap. two weeks ago it overheated real bad. i had a coolent line break. i repaired the problem and this one came up. im lost on this one. thanks for any help.

Have it tested for a blown head gasket. It may have happened when the line broke, now the engine is creating too much pressure in the cooling system
