Re: Coolant Overflow Issues Anyone..??
sounds like the head gasket, if your getting bubbles in your coolant while the engine is running then its definitely head gasket, it will pass a pressure test beause the cylinder its leaking into can hold the pressure too... check your exhaust, see if you have a whiteish sweet smelling smoke when you start up after it has been sitting for 5-10mins,

Go to autozone, and buy a length of coolant line the same size as your heater core hose and just by-pass it. Its literally just that simple. You by-pass it by un attaching both heater core hoses, and buying a length of hose long enough to 'loop' the 2 water necks.

Re: Coolant Overflow Issues Anyone..??
ok so with bypassed heater core and a brand new radiator + cap its still losing coolant.. i smell a faint bit of coolant sometimes when im driving... i cant tell if its exhaust or not but i'd imagine it is... i guess it could be my headgasket even tho all tests show its not, and it its an entirely different motor and still same exact problem... wtf..!!!!!!!!! =(
