need help with water pump?

ok lately my car has been running pretty hot so i did a full flush to make sure the system is clean but i noticed she still running a little warm but i know thats pretty normal for camaros and expecially being in the las vegas heat. what i found odd was i night i drove only for about two minutes and when i pulled over noticed a good amount of anti freeze coming out from the reserve but i felt the water and it was cold. do you think the water pump might be out? any help would be great.

see i did the flush a week ago and been driving for more then a 100 miles and i know all the excess water already came out. so something would have to bring the pressure back out the reserve but im not sure what.

You might want to add some basic info like the year of your car, and the engine you have. Not sure how anyone is able to help you without that info, since the cooling systems vary a bit from engine to engine.

lol um opps your rite sorry about that but i have a 1994 chevy camaro z28. its a good running car just have that water problem rite now theres about 120000 miles on her. the previous owner really didnt keep up the maintance on the car so im just trying to get everything done. like i said before she really isnt getting hot anymore since i did the flush and the fans are working great just dont get why the reserve would still over flow when its not hot and i didnt add any more water to make that happen. the tempature was still cold when she over flowed. any ideas what might cause a problem like that?
