I have had an issue where Antifreeze is spitting out out the Radiator cap when running the engine at 3000- 4000 RPM while underway . This does not happen at the dock, only when there is a load on the engine. I noticed that part of the lip of the Fresh Water Reservoir where the radiator cap goes on is missing, thus not giving the cap something to hold it down on one side. I found a replacement part, and I'm currently in the process of replacing it.
After removing the Reservoir, I notice that the Antifreeze level in the Manifold was low, less than half full. Should the Antifreeze level be up to the top before I put the New Reservoir back on?
Also, if this does not fix the problem, aside from over hearting issues, what else could make the Antifreeze leak out of the cap while underway.
Thanks!
