So i drove my car yesterday and when i go through the gears hard, well full throttle, shifting at about 5k i noticed my temp go up, i have an autometer temp guage, also a 180 stat. normally the car runs about 185-195 and when i drive it hard like this it goes up to about 210, fairly fast too. as soon as i let off and drive normally it goes back down. So after that i went home and popped the hood to check up on everything and saw a little bit of coolant spilled out form the overflow. it doesnt use/burn coolant nor leak it if i drive regular. is this a sign of a possible head gasket problem?? any info would be greatly appreciated. by the way, i tried to "burp" it thinking it may be an air bubble, i jacked to front of the car up to trya nd get any air out.

thanks again

Nick
