Have you recently changed the anti-freeze or done any work on the cooling system? May need burping.

done any work on the cooking system?

Yeah, thats the system located just behind the grill lol.

This is correct, crack open the plug located on the crossover tube in front of the alternator. You will probably see air bubbles come out of the plug. Chances are that's your problem.

check the front of the radiator make sure it's not plugged up with crap, check the fan is working. If you have done any recent cooling system work crack open the plug located on the crossover tube I personally use a vacuum filler never had an air pocket problem other than an Lincoln ls but thats Lucifer sedan , but I would crack that plug first

yeah i just tried to open up the plug on the crossover tube but when i started my car a hole had popped at the top of my coolant reservoir tank ...so i know i have to replace that but what would cause that???

a hole in my coolant reservoir tank on the top of it??

You mean a hole in the black plastic top? Did you leave something on top it and slammed the hood down on it?

[kidrobot]

yeah and nah i didnt leave anything on top of it and i just noticed it was antifreeze squirting out of it

OK that would explain the overheating. you are probably sucking in air and that's causing the issue.

but that hole just opened just now the car was overheating before the hole??
