The recovery/header tank is in the front left by the bumper. There's a hose that connects to the expansion tank... maybe the tank or hose is cracked?

Here's a link to the parts diagram

are you overheating? Sounds like pressure buildup in the cooling system: i.e., a head gasket is blown or stuck thermostat
