Thanks I'll look at all that today. Really appreciate your quick response.


If your car is an automatic- then it may be the ATF cooling lines running into your radiator. If not, make sure the thermostat was installed with the rubber o-ring facing out, towards the detached thermostat housing, and the arrow on the thermo points straight-up. Lastly, check to see if your thermostat's bleeder screw is not removed. If the blkeed screw is out- then coolant will leak out of your car like a seive.
