Puking water after a run?

A leak ?
Is it losing coolant from the radiator/expansion tank ?
May be a weak spring on the expansion tank allowing the coolant to boil, or a pinprick which leaks under pressure.
Run the engine to hot/warm, and look for any steam or water squirting out.

Depends where its puking it from.
If from the bulkhead then its condensate from the aircon ( i,e don't worry )
But since you are asking this question in December, I pressume its not aircon and probably its coming out of the expansion tank. You could have a blockage in your system (thermostat stuck in a nearly closed position ) or the head gaskets gone...( worry ) Check the oil for goo
Sounds like the water pumps leaking.
