Tom, how much is it puking and does it go into a puke tank? You know that the coolant will not be (and should not be) right at the top of the highest point of your coolant system. As a comparison, a car with a standard radiator, the fluid will be several inches below the filler neck because when the engine is hot it will puke out about a quart or so (depending on the capacity of the coolant system).
Need more info if you are familiar with the above and there are other issues.
