Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! If you've replaced the radiator and thermostat and still have a heavy coolant leak near the overflow reservoir, you might be looking at a pressure issue. It’s possible the radiator cap isn’t releasing pressure properly, which can push coolant out. Another potential cause is a clogged or faulty hose between the radiator and reservoir or even a bad water pump that’s overworking the cooling system.
