2001 Tribute expelling water after shutdown
I have a 2001 Tribute with the 3.0 V6. Have had trouble with this thing expelling coolant out the expansion/ degas bottle. It will run fine - correct temp and not overheat while running. After I shut the engine down, the overflow on the expansion tank will spit out some water. I can see the level in the tank rise, then expel some steam and water, then drop as the radiator refills. After a couple of these cycles the expansion tank is empty and I am concerned about overheating the engine. I refill the expansion tank and start it all over again. I have tested the thermostat and I opens up when it is supposed to. I can not see, or hear, any other leaks in the system.
Any suggestions would be appriciated.
Thanks.
