Default Coolant Issues

I have a 02 400 Sportsman and when it is warm out it shoots all of the coolant out. I don't understand why is does this because it was only 20 Celsius with a wind today. I was only driving down gravel roads and it just spits it out everywhere. What could be my problem?

One make sure your rad is clean.....were is it leeking from. I had a 2000 sportsman that did this and it was coming out the vent hole on the overflow tank. After trying many things it endded up being the rad cap.

Ok I will check all those things out. It doesn't really seem to overheat, like the light doesn't come on or anything and it runs fine. I would say it was a good 5 hours before it happened this time. It happened one time but that was a super hot day. Im not exactly sure where is it spraying out of because it sprays it all over the place down there.
