Any Idea Why Fans and Coolaint.....

I pulled up in drive way and before I shut off the car noticed the Electronic Fans were running which they never really turn on unless its super hott out and its about 50 degrees out. So I was lookin in then engine bay and noticed my coolaint overflow was jsut flowing over with antifreeze just pouring out, while the fans are on. The engine was not even hot, I was able to rest hand on the intake manifold which bascially felt like touching maybe a cup of luke coffee. I also had my digital climate control turned off so I have no idea why antifreeze was pouring out....

Help?

Leaking head gasket

Check your oil for inconsistencies.


BTW nice job painting the trim, and picking those rims, really looks BMW'ish

blockage, maybe a stuck thermostat depending on how hot the coolant actually is. sounds like it's pretty cool though and wouldn't boil over if the t-stat was closed. or yes a blown head gasket will cause what you're describing..
