coolant Bursts out of reservoir but doesn't over heat.

I have a 99 honda civic lx. For awhile now my car has been loosing coolant. It has over heated once which was the radiator. So I changed it. Also the thermastat. A few weeks later I've been noticing water spilling out from underneath. My car hasnt overheated since I changed the radiator and thermastat. I have orange stains all around the reservoir and underneath it being from the dried up spill. I have always used green antifreeze. I've also noticed corrosion around the thermastat. I changed the thermastat twice already.

Please help

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Looks like You have a serious rust problem inside the cooling system...


If it is pushing coolant out I'd test for a head gasket problem first
