Overheating.  Or a blown headgasaket.  Or just normal coolant expansion, when it gets warm.

With the engine cold, pull the radiator cap off and start the engine.  If you see bubbles in the coolant, then the headgasket is leaking.

i have a 86 ford with a 460runs great never over heats but turn it off give it a minute and here comes the water fall. its a blown head gasket no bubbles with the cap off  but turn it and the cylinder pressure bleeds in to the coolant   and pushes out the water
