coolent leak

[gbizzle27]

Got my new 3.2 swap running today and it runs fine other then its leaking alot of coolent out the overflow and it sounds like everything is boiling. Its running somewhat hot? The gauge reads at the O on NORMAL. Did i not get something hooked up right or did i just put to much coolent in it?

Sounds like the seal on the radiator cap is missing/not working.

that would make the car run warm?

The car always runs warm. The radiator cap keeps a certain amount of pressure in the coolant system. When there is no seal, no pressure can be kept and so the coolant boils out of the raditor into the overflow.

There is more to it, but check your radiator cap...and make sure the seal is on it and in good condition.
