How are your fans controlled? Have you verified that the blades are on the correct way and that they are turning the correct way. I do not consider my car overheating until it gets above 230. Even then it does not puke coolant.

I agree, when my car is at 220 which is most of the time I have checked with a temp reader and the engine itself is just shy of 70 degrees C. I think your overflow tank is just full and cannot take the expanding coolant. Unless you have had overheating issues in the past I would just drive it and see how it goes. I am sure you a smart enough to know when it is getting too hot before it blows it cool.

As a side note just buy a infra red temp reader and check. They are cheap and make a great laser gun for the kids(and adults afterwards!
