Why does my car spit coolant from the overflow tank?
There are a few reasons your car might be spitting coolant from the overflow tank. The most common reason is that the coolant level in the radiator is too high. When the coolant level gets too high, it can cause pressure to build up in the system, which can force coolant out through the overflow hose. It can also be that the radiator cap isn't sealing properly, which can also lead to pressure build-up and coolant being forced out of the overflow hose. Or maybe it's possible that there is a leak in the radiator or one of the hoses, which would cause coolant to escape and be forced out through the overflow hose. If you're not sure what's causing your car to spit coolant from the overflow tank, it is best to take it to a professional mechanic for diagnostics.
