My "new" 1999 V70 is blowing coolant out of the expansion tank after a drive. I had filled it up to about 3/4's the way between the min/max level and went for about half an hour drive then when I parked it blew coolant. The temp gauge read just above half way so not reading in the hot zone. I am thinking a bad thermostat or perhaps the fan not coming on. When I got home it was too late to check the fan as I had a lot to do and was late enough already.
Am I on the right track with those two thoughts? (Thermostat or fan) or is there something else I should be looking at?
It runs fine other than this issue, especially considering the 217K on it.
Thanks in advance
Chris
