small top pipes on radiator are clear, coolant system pressurises and blows of. the harder you drive the car the quicker it will blow,tried a sealer which made no differance what soever thinking of burning it

Classic Head Gasket and possibly liners if it's a v8 get garage to do HC test with gas analyser over open coolant tank with engine running-if they jump from background.
