Thanks, oldman 
A few turned out to be more nute-needy than the others, and depleted their soil a little quicker before I got off my hiney to actually feed them.
But they've bounced back, so I'm happy

Hey gents. Hope your day went well. Mine was a bit of a roller coaster and I'm hoping some of you mechanically inclined gents might help me troubleshoot a problem. I was out running around in the car, picked up a friend and when we got out at his place coolant was gushing out on the road. Opened the hood and it's boiling in the reservoir and releasing out the cap like a pressure cooker. I've been hearing a whiny pump sound lately and wondering if the water pump maybe seized up. I changed the thermostat withing the last year.
Anyway, my temps were still normal and maintained that all the way home and by this time I wasn't loosing anymore. After sitting for an hour or so I decided to run out local and noticed no more then a couple of drips of coolant on the ground, probably excess off the reservoir. I drove it a mile and back with no issues.
I'm a bit puzzled and the timing couldn't be worse. Google and Youtube haven't helped at all so if anyone can help me out that would be fantastic.
I did score some nice OG tonight and just getting ready to settle in and I stumbled upon this. It may have passed through here before, or may not, but here it is. Hosted by Dean Norris from Breaking Bad.
Cheers,

water pump

did you fill up the radiator after it boiled over? Sounds like the water pump. They are usually not expensive, but a pain to replace....remember to pick up some antifreeze....you have to drain the radiator, if not remove it.

No I didn't. It's an 07 Taurus. The rad is hidden and you fill through the reservoir, and it was still too hot to remove the cap when I ran out. I was planning on popping it off in the morning. I think this is going to be a shop job. Serpentine belt and all that jazz.
Forgot that link, sorry.

it is possibly out of water...please fill it up before you start it again....water pumps are cheaper than motors.

Yes, I definitely will. I did some pricing on the parts and checked out some how to's and technically speaking there's nothing intimidating about the job, just a lot of step and mucking around, but I think I need to put it off until after the move next weekend. I'll have a better place to do the job there than here. Until then I'm just going to park it and get by. One plus of moving back into the city I guess.

Thanks for the input guys. I was reading guys saying bubbling reservoirs are a symptom of a blown head gasket and I wasn't liking that.

If it's a head gasket you'll usually see moisture coming out of the tail pipe. Although I always have bubbling res in my grow room

You just made my dangly bits tingle, oldman!
Had a 4-bolt main 327, Holly 650 dbl-pumper, etc. in my old '68 C20, that was purring along with about 350hp.
6.71:1 rear gears hooked to a Turbo400 tranny made for 0-60 in a 1-ton p/u truck in 5-secs or a little less.
Love the Chevy small-block...
