Hey guy im new to this forum thing. Sorry if i dont know the etiquette. But i have been having a heating problem. It started with me losing coolant from the radiatir cap neck . It was cracked. I replaced radiator. Bled the air bubbles. It was good for a few days then i smelled the coolant and it heated up. Turned out hoses had small holes.replaced them. And the thermostat and the fan switch. . Bled the air bubbles again and tested with the pressure tester to the radiator neck. It held pressure. But a couple days later again coolant spilled splattered over the fan swithch area. Almost like it came fro. The reservoir. And reservoir was full. It drove on the highway fine for over 60 miles. But once i got on to the streets getting home it started heating up. Luckily i was home. So i turned it off. And suggestions or idea???

chemical tests don't work on these engines, sadly, nor milky oil. only known sure way is the compressed air

Not really up for debate after seeing the overflowing coolant reservoir, unfortunately. Breached exhaust gases are what cause that.
