i just got my st162 celica regoed today, and its decided to make boiling noises from the overflow tank, and blow air and a little coolant out it.
thing is, the temperature gauge says fine, and it appears to work.
car's coolant is rather brown (just replaced with toyota red)
could this be a blocked/stuffed radiator or an i facing a headgasket???
thanks in advance.

Go get a T.K. test done to check for combustion gases in the wrong places  Should be able to get one done at any decent mechanic and will take bugger all time (like 5mins)
