water sprays out of radiator hoses Sign In

Hi, I have a 1995 chevy P/U 1500 with a 350 engine in it. the problem I am having is when it warm up to running temp it sprays out water from either the hose that goes to the thermostat or the hose that looks like it goes to the oil pan. I have flushed the cooling system and put a new thermostat in (195deg. ) it runs at 195-200 deg. It is like water is not able to get in to the engine and back pressure builds up and it sprays out where the hoses connect to the radiator. Any help would be great.

Thank you

You have a leak that needs to be pinpointed and repaired. The system needs to be pressure tested to locate the leak and that will determine what has to be done.

It only does it once when it warms up for the first time
after that it stops spraying out.

The system is supposed to be water tight under pressure at all times. You have a leak ad need to fix it.
