Re: Coolant leak?

If you still have problems after trying to allow system to find it's own level....I'd consider the possibility of a head gasket issue. Check with engine hot ,remove rad cap and let idle . If you see bubbles in the coolant and the level rises and starts to overflow the rad, then you most likely have a head gasket leak. With the cap on, combustion gets pushed into cooling system and pressurized the cooling cooling system. If the gasket is badly blown you can get air locks in the system causing over heat issues, and coolant leaking into the cylinders,causing hydrolock, and coolant into oil. I know that's not the issue, but presenting the potentially worst case scenario...
