VerifiedThanks for asking your question. I will try and help you out.
There are several things I have seen cause this.
The first is a faulty radiator cap. I would test or replace it first.
Second is a cracked jacket water pre cooler. When it cracks, boost pressure enters the cooling system and pushes out coolant.
Third is a failed head gasket or cracked head.
Lastly is a blown head gasket on the air compressorPlease reply back if you need more help or have more questions. I am happy to assist.
