   Yes. The system has to be pressurized to allow temperatures above the
boiling point to be reached. It's not that your coolant is heating up too
much but that the boiling point has been lowered because you're now at
ambient pressure.

My car is overheating a little today.  I noticed that the coolant
is spraying out of a crack in my overflow bottle.  Could this
crack cause me to loose pressure, in turn allowing the coolant
to heat up too much?
