Default Coolant coming out of Reservoir

So here's what i have done Coolant wise with my Cherokee. Flushed out the coolant and used some metal rescue to clean out any rust that was in the system. Ended up replacing most of my freeze plugs due to 2 of them rusting through. Threw some new coolant in it along with a new water pump, thermostat, new upper and lower hose(with spring inside), and a radiator cap.

Jeep does not over heat at all and nothing spills out while it is on. But after shutting it off and letting it sit awhile the coolant in the reservoir rises and spills out.

Anyone have any idea whats going on?

I'd say that you have air in the system.

I had the same problem. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/coo...624/?styleid=6
A new radiator cap fixed it...
