does his radiator hose get hard and stay hard over night after he drives it?

hoes does the coolant reservoir look any oil in there or evidence of oil, is there alot of pressure built up in the over flow tank?

if it blows out of overflow tank with or without oil it is head gasket or if he has egr cooler (that could do it too)
