Default Car is doing weird stuff again... Mechanics baffled..

Ok, most of you know I got a used lt1 out if a junker. Anyways.. it's doing the same thing as the old one. If you drive it around 10-infinity... Miles it is fine. But after you get out, it dumps coolant out of the left front, under the bumper, and if you try to start it after it dumped the coolant, the temp guage goes in the red.. Any ideas..?

Is the hose to your overflow tank disconnected/loosely fit/cut/cracked/split?

im thinking maybe a hose is porous and only leaks when hot antifreeze comes out of the engine or the cap is crap and seeps. happened with my taurus
