The cooling system in my 580 B has at least two problems, maybe related, I don't know. The guy I bought it from replaced the radiator, but:

1 - When the engine has a chance to heat up, it often boils over a bit. If I fill up the radiator to the point I can see coolant, a few cups will come out the overflow at the top. Once it loses a certain amount, the overflow stops, but I can also usually hear the coolant boiling in the radiator, once I shut the engine off. Any ideas why this is happening? (my coolant temp gauge doesn't work, so I don't have a good handle on exact temp)

2 - I've seen a little oil in the coolant, but no coolant in the crankcase oil. I assume this is either a head gasket problem or a seal someplace, but don't know. Also, if there is no coolant in the oil, and the oil stays clean, how serious a problem is this?
