Replace the radiator cap with the proper OEM cap. Be sure and use the exact same pressure cap. If this happens again after replacing the cap, then you need to do a complete service of the cooling system. Drain, flush, replace thermostat, refill with a 50/50 mix of the proper coolant and distilled water, and bleed air from the system. Also inspect cooling fan and water pump for proper operation.

THATS WHAT THE OVERFLOW/EXPANSION PACK IS FOR. WHEN ANTIFREEZE/COOLANT BEGIN TO BOIL IT EXPANDS AND IT NEEDS A PLACE TO GO. THERE FOR IT GOES IN TO THE OVERFLOW/EXPANSION PACK. THIS PREVENTS DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE/RADIATOR AND OVERHEATING. THERE IS ALSO THE POSIBILITY OF A MALFUNCTIONING SENDING UNIT/GAUGE.
