Default URGENT - Help Needed on SPF w/ FE !!!!!

Hey guys. I have a situation with my side-oiler spraying coolent from the black overflow tank on my SPF. It acts almost as if something is clogged. I drove the car lastnight and everything was fine. Started the car today and got ready for a ride and noticed a puddle of coolent as I pulled out of the driveway. Pulled back in the garage and opened the hood to find coolent sparaying from the small hole located on the top of the black overflow tank on SPF's (not the puke tank). Temps were 100-110 range. Car has a 160 deg therm so right away we figred that was the problem (stuck). Removed the puke tank and pulled the therm and checked it with a lighter and it opened up fine.
Prior to removing the puke tank we started the car with the the cap on the puke tank removed. Pressure built to the point that coolent spilled from the tank. Bottom hose gets warm so it seems to be flowing from the radiator fine.

-Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!! Thanks.
