newbie here

hey guys! 1st gen question here. So i open my hood while the engines running, and I look at my radiator/thermostat housing cap, and theres antifreeze bubbling and splashing in all directions and theres smoke. so i turned the car off, let it sit and took the cap and cleaned it and put it back on. It started up and it was not leaking any antifreeze and hasnt since. its done this once before and i figured it was because of me revving my engine too high, but idont know. Do you think I should replace the housing gasket or any other parts, or just let it slide? thanks for your help

It's such a quick and easy job to do I would just replace the gasket. Better safe then sorry right?

Most definitely. Ill just go to carquest tomorrow and get the gasket. Thanx for the advice!

For better insurance you could replace the upper&lower rad hose's while you change you gaskets....
