Default 2003 XJ8 with coolant issue

Hello and thank you for having me as a member. My fiancee and I just bought
a 2003 XJ8 last week as an early wedding gift to ourselves. It is a beautiful silver car, and our first Jaguar ! I have read many of the threads here and found a lot of good information, which has led me to post a question of my own. Why is coolant spewing out of the "overflow tank", the clear plastic bottle located at the front left of the vehicle, behind the bumper? Its worse with the AC on and I hear bubbling coolant in the coolant reservoir... Could this be a sign of a bad water pump, thermostat or worse? The temp gauge stayed in the middle and our low coolant light came on one time. Im not going to drive it anymore unless its to the mechanic shop. Any advice or guidance on the subject would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com.

If you haven’t already you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for. To do this go to, User CP, Edit Signature, Add Vehicle Details and such and Save Your Signature.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.

Also, should you have questions related to your vehicle please post it in the section for your model year (MY) car. This way you will reach all the members that are familiar with your MY car.
