Hi ,I have a petrol 190 V6 which has recently started to push water out of the header Cap when it feels like it.
I can run it for an hour ticking over and my temp gets upto 81 degrees without pushing anything out, Take it for a run 5 miles check again and coolant on header tank ?

The Jobs ive done in the past are new water pump when belts changed 1 year ago, New Kaiser metal stat and pipes and O rings, Recently new radiator as looked suspect in places, 2 new header caps. It has had new temp sensor and digital display fitted so its accurate and i have confirmed with instrument cluster test too.

No signs of water in the oil or mayo in the oil cap, No leaks in the V of the engine or anywhere else i can see.

Tested all 3 fan speeds are working using Toaf.

Heater gets nice and hot in the car , Bled it several times with tank in the air and bleed screw open im getting stuck for ideas now ??

It seems to be more of a pressure issue than a water leak ??

Any suggestions appreciated cheers
