I did a high level search to look for duplicate posts but didn't see anything that followed my issue. If you know of one please post the link.

My issue is that I replaced the thermostat and water pump because my heat would not work when the vehicle was idle. Now that these have been changed out, I am now seeing that i have a slow coolant leak. A tech friend told me it would most likely be the gasket(o-ring) around the water pump, but I found that the overflow reservoir lid was no put on correctly. I corrected this which helped but this morning my heat was barely working while the vehicle was moving (low coolant?). I went to check the level of coolant, which when i started to remove the radiator cap, the coolant started shooting out of the overflow at the cap. I am also only seeing coolant spray remnants near the overflow area and cannot really see anything on the belts that are near the water pump.

Any ideas?
