Thumbs up Coolant Prob

Driving to the doctor and I notice steam is coming from under the hood.. I pull over and it is flowing like mad out of the reservoir... I then make it to 7-11 and try to fill the radiator and it is coming out faster than it is going in..

Opinions? 82,000 on the clock



So is there a better stock GM radiator.. It is at the dealership now and if/when they replace it I would like to upgrade it if GM has one that is worth upgrading to... It is a 1997 Z...

Could be the water pump too, but how do you know? Usually, I would look into this myself, but this is not the time for me to play with my ride it must be done ASAP and the dealership here could do that for me..

Be-Cool sells a lot of radiators

Was your radiator pressure tested? Are you sure it's bad?
Could be a pump, a thermostat, even a head gasket.

Can you describe it any better?
