I went up my steep snowy driveway spinning tires and reving the motor in my manual shift car, I notice some anitifreeze in the snow , it came from the over flow tank, is this common when reving motor, you can email me if you want ronplanes@cs.com

Please make sure to include what kind of car it was and the model of the alarm installed. Otherwise we'll just be shooting in the dark on the options of the alarm and it's abilities.

I would say its normal, if your engine gets hoter the normal your coolant expands and if the tank is full the only way to go is out. I wouldnt worry unless you notice it all the time

I would, (short of having it professionaly checked out) first replace the radiator cap, these are a common culprit of your problem, but do not rule out, t-stat sticking closed causing overheat, head gasket failure causing pressure in the system. Plus many more... Most parts stores have the ability to test your radiator cap, there are cheap, but doesnt hurt to have it checked.
