Sounds like a blown head gasket.

I agree. The coolant isn't actually boiling but most likely it is air being forced through the cooling system each time one of the cylinders compresses for firing.

How does aquarium Overflow work?

An overflow is a box that hangs on the back of the tank (or is sometimes built in) and allows the water to "overflow" to a wet/dry filter (the tank sized filters people have underneath their tanks). The overflow has a U shaped tube that allows water to siphon from the main tank into the overflow box. The overflow box then drains the water down a tube to the wet/dry filter continuing the siphon by pulling the water as it drains. If you are going to purchase on, they should come with instructions. www.wetwebmedia.com is a good place to learn about all types of fish related things.
