This year I have replaced fittings, hoses, head gaskets, a cooling fan switch, and now a radiator. The head gaskets were put in three months ago. the radiator was put in this week. since then I have seen three symptoms. 1. Air seems to get into the radiator then coolant is pushed out the overflow. I have bled the air out after two careful refills (ie. raise the front open both bleeders etc.) 2. I have seen a slow leak that drips off of the transmission housing after running 30 miles and the van sitting for an hour. This leak will stop if I bleed the pressure out of the radiator. 3. The van overheats because circulation stops up at the radiator. Well... What do you think is wrong? I'm afraid of the answer. Thank you Mike
