Coolant loss

You didn't state just how it was coming out but the first thing I would do is check the hose and the reservoir to see if it has a crack in it. Hope this helps.

It don't have a crack in it the water looks like it is coming out of the top of it

Like the tank is too full? :confused

That means that the water is being pushed out of the radiator...into the tank.

either a bad radiator cap or

overheating or

the after effects of overheating... (really really bad news)

Had this problem with my 92. There was sludge in the bottom of the recovery tank. It would let coolant in but plugged the tube and wouldn't let it suction back to the system. Cleaned out the tank and now it is fine.

here while back while working on my car with a buddy we had the throttle body off he bumped the latch to the hood and it fell on the tb.ad broke a pice off the pice was the one that loops from the tb to the motor. I bypassed it but know it is loosing water. took the plate off of the top of the tb there was sludge in it. and you can crank the car and steam comes out of the tb from the hose that comes from vaule cover. but there is no water in the oil or coming out of the tail pipe pleas help:confused
