coolant reserve tank
my car keeps pushing the coolant out the reserve tank why could this be happening i already did an block test and i didnt get no signs of exhaust gases in coolant would a radiator pressure test show a bad head gasket if gases are leaking into water passages what else could cause this,ever since i started to swap out intakes this started,i just re installed the gt40 intake upper and lower like 2 weeks ago

Same thing happened to me directly after I did my h/c/i swap. I also did the pressure test and got no results but none the less, checked my oil and sure enough... MILKSHAKE!... faulty head gasket! maybe you used the wrong intake gaskets? too small/not flowing enough ...so.. checked the oil lately?

the cap is new no milkshake oil my temp is always at where the L is but it starts to rise once i loose some coolant but that takes a while if driving normal but if im going fast at a high rpm on freeway its pushing it out, i always notice it when i get to a complete stop its like its building up a lot of pressure and alot of steam comes out also when i remove cap and i dont think its the intake gaskets cause when i first switched intake manifold from stock to gt40 the gt40 lower had a problem so i took it off and put stock back on and it would still do it with the stock one and once i got another gt40 lower i reinstalled and same thing
