your coolant cap for the overflow tank should have a plastic tail on it with some holes in it that tell what level the coolant is in the tank.

 

Alright will be doing that, and yeah I had coolant splashed on me a few times so I know how it feels.

 

Yeah I replaced it, I still have the old one with a tail in and the tail is really rusty, I'll get a picture of it on Friday.
Thanks!

 

This is a 3800? There is a air bleeder on the top of the thermostat that is the only way to get the air out of the engine. With the engine cold, use a pair of pliers and crack the knurled brass looking bleed until coolant runs out. No other way to do it with this design. The radiator cap is a good bit below the thermostat and the air will never come out unless you bleed it.


Best pic I could find, there hole right above where the large radiator hose went one should have a brass bleeder in it.

 

Thanks for that, I will check tomorrow and hopefully find it and do the bleed. So after I bleed the screw dry what would I do next?what if it still steams up and overfill?

 

Is the car overheating?

With all coolant issues the step one should be a pressure test. You need a tool to do it but you can borrow that from a chain parts store. Then search Youtube for how to pressure test my coolant system. If the system can not maintain pressure then the coolant will boil.

 

Ill see if autozone will be nice enough to let me borrow the pressure tester but I doubt they will. Thanks

 

OK autozone let me "borrow" the pressure tester in return I had to pay a $85 deposit!. So I put the pressure tester on( I set it at 17PSI) and something was leaking under the car and I couldn't see what it was

 

need to follow it up and find where its coming from.

 

How would I be able to do that it looks like there's 2 areas where it is leaking from
