ok guys my aveo is 5 years now, clocked 1,41,000km.
At around 45000 km we had a head gasket replacement, along with head overhaul(no head issues, chevy said its mandatory)
Of late coolant has been overflowing from the radiator coolant reservoir, unlike other cars the aveo's coolant reservoir is a pressurized container, and coolant needed filling up every 3 days, so my driver to the car to a radiator specialist who found a leak on the drain plug of the radiator along with that they did radiator servicing and coolant filling, when the car came back i checked and was annoyed that he filled in a green color coolant instead of the red one chevrolet fills in. after a few days i started noticing when the engine is turned of the coolant starts overflowing from the cap, when i checked the cap i found it to be damaged the pressure release vents is just a hollow now, this morning i noticed lots of coolant flowing out, as soon as i started the car.
So i opened the cap and revved the engine and the coolant started gushing out along with lots of black dirt. Checked the oil seemed perfect the oil filler cap seemed perfect, then i checked the exhaust it had water droplets dripping of.
What do you guys think the problem is? I can't find a new coolant reservoir cap and have to buy the entire container for 1000 from chevrolet. Should i go ahead with changed the container first? or check further?
