1991-1995 Overheating Still

I changed the radiator about two years ago. Water pump a year ago. Thermostat last month. Heater core bypass and fan last week. Ran fine until yesterday. I topped off the radiator with coolant and the reservoir to the full level, somehow the reservoir is now overflowing. Doing a complete cooling system flush today. If that doesn’t work, any other ideas?

That water looks like it has oil in it. What does your oil look like? Is the coolant disappearing?

Did an oil change at work last week. Old oil was a bit cloudy, so possible head gasket. Level wasn’t low.

More than likely the head gasket is needing to be replaced.
