Coolant coming out radiator cap and overheating.
I've had a problem with my 05 Civic EX Special Edition losing coolant, mostly through the radiator cap i believe. Then, occasionally will start to overheat on me. About a year ago i had it in the shop and they did compression test and everything came out o.k. They replaced radiator cap and thermostat. I replaced the radiator cap again a few months back and still having the same issues. No white smoke out the exhaust either. Anyone have any thoughts???
