I resolved my overheating issue which sounds very much like yours by lowering the water level in the radiator.

I overcame my overheating issue by loweriing he water level in the radiator, it was overheating after driving about 15 minutes much like you are reporting!

That's strange.

If one uses dishwasher detergent to clean the cooling system be sure and get the low sudsing type. Don't ask.

OK, I had to giggle. Of course I have done some stuff that made me say to myself - "self, why did I do that"?

Not strange if you think coolant coming out the overflow is an overheating problem, 50 some years ago I thought my A was overheating and it was just seeking its own level. A very common issue for newbee's, coolant level needs to be just below the baffle.
