I drove 2-3 miles uphill until I reached my destination. I come out and see coolant leaking on the ground. Pop the hood and i see the coolant reservoir tank overflowing. Turned off the car for a couple minutes. Started it again and it sucked all the juice out of the reservoir tank. Anyone have any ideas what the problem is?

no visable leaks other than the resivoir overflowing? Could be thermostat, w/p, or a number of things.

how was the temp guage inside the car?

im thinking it might be the thermostat.

it is definately one of these 4:

1. rad cap failed
2. t-stat stuck closed
3. rad plugged
4. head gasket

most likely 1 or 2 because if it is 3, you're screwed, if it is 4 you might want to lube up and bend over.

The temp gauge was at normal level and the only leak I saw was from the reservoir. These past days ive been driving normal conditions and everything seems fine. I hope my car is not about to die. Just passed the 191k mark.

change the radiator cap and the thermostat.

i heard the radiator cap should be checked every time you do a coolant change.

changing those 2 are easy and inexpensive. i havent heard many major problems with the J32A2 engines.
