Hi there just a quick ? Engine keeps overheating, checked all my lines, found the problem was no fluid...but no sign of leak......i left hood up and car running, after about 10-15 minutes overflow line starts spurtting fluid...then starts blowing alot of steam. Would it be the water pump or thermostat? or am i missing something?

Replace the thermostat and bleed the system could be airlock.
