smoke out the tailpipe is also not apparent unless it's severely blown.
also, water boils at 212° F, so regardless if there was a problem or not, it might still blow water out the reservoir and inefficiently cool the engine leading to warpage and more failure anyway due to boiling

if coolant in the system is boiling at 212 then there is a problem. coolant under pressure (water or mix) will not boil till a higher temp.
with a COLD engine, if you remove the coolant cap and run the engine does coolant come out or atleast a tone of bubbles coming into the tank?
