Hi all,
I recently inherited my Dad's 1960 Triumph TR3. My knowledge is limited, and the previous mechanic is now 2 hours away, but I would like to start learning about the car and work on it myself.
Can someone help me diagnose the following problem? After driving the car for 5-10 minutes, a decent amount of the coolant (liquid and steam) is expelled from what appears to be the discharge tube right next to the radiator cap. I initially found the radiator cap appeared damaged so I replaced it, but the problem persisted. I was considered testing the thermostat and possibly replacing if needed. What else could the cause of this issue?
