Head Gasket??!!
My sisters mate came round last night in a Fiat Cinqu.... sporting what ever bean can.
The rad just let go and dumpeded it's contends, rotten.
I filled it back up with warm water to get her home, then ran it, the temp was ok but after a few minutes, the water in the header tank went mad and spilled out like a volcano!!!
Oil seems fine, no mayo but could there be any other explanation for what happened other than head gasket?

Anyway of sorting it without removing the rad for a temperary fix
Ideally want to be able to fill the rad up so she can drive it to get it repaired without overheating, only seems to let the water piss out when it it switched off, whilst running it only drips but just worried that if I fill it and put the cap on it might blow something with the pressure not getting out of the header tank
