Default A question about the cooling system

Hi,
The engine was on and the jeep was parking when I noticed that the coolant wsa bleeding on the groung! It was coming out of the reservoir and the coolant in the reservoir was boiling. Any idea about this? The temp. gauge was at the normal level... The radiator, thermostat, hoses are new.

Radiator cap, head gasket, cracked head, cracked block.

The radiator cap is the easiest and cheapest thing to replace. If that doesn't fix it, get a combustion leak test kit and test for exhaust gas in the cooling system.
