Coolant puke?

I have a small amount of coolant that puked from aroung the top of the radiator somewhere. I noticed it after the snow plow season. I had too much coolant in it to begin with. Is my radiator leaking or is there a chance it puked whatever excess coolant it didnt need?

need to find a pressure tester to figure that out. check the hose clamps at the upper hose as well as look for a leak around the nipple that runs to the degas tank.

Hey cheezit quick question if you get this. Ive been thinking about doing the delete and heads for a while now. I dont think i need them yet im running on the originals. Is it in anyway possible that the cooler and heads may never go bad, or is it inevitable.
