My radiator is returning the coolant back to the resivoir after driving around the block and it s causing the engine to smell like its burning. The hose from the water pump and thermostat to the radiator are both hot and the radiator fan also works but when I remove the radiator cap and step on the gas the coolant comes out the top of it.

HI there,

I would be thinking that you may have the early signs of a head gasket problem, have a head check done, and check that you don't have a part blocked radiator, start here.
