Do you have a V6? The 2.5L's are notorious for water pump deterioration. Relatively cheap and easy fix ââ?¬â?? if nothing else damaged.

Another more ominous possibility is cylinder leakage (exhaust) into the water jacket. This would be very bad news as it would indicate a bad head gasket (at best). Similar result to what you describe: coolant forced out of block under exhaust pressure into the radiator and overflow tank.

A compression test might reveal it.

Try replacing the waterpump first
