sometimes (when hot weather for example, or long driving) my engine
gets hotter then the normal,
and when i stop the car i can see the coolant is pushed out of the
system.

any ideas? My radiator is almost new, replaced the termostat to
original one. tried replacing the coolant.

thanks.

Your cooling system might not be capable of cooling the car in your
current climate. If you have replaced all the primary components
(thermostat, radiator, water pump) and you are still having cooling
issues, you might need to upgrade to a bigger radiator. OR you might
want to check for head gasket failure, to see if compression is leaking
into your coolant system.
