My 1998 Honda civic ex has been losing some coolent by the weeks and I open the radiator cap turn it on no bubble but when rev up it spills it up just a little splash. I. Just put in that engine 1.5 month ago I don't know if blown head gasket or air in line help? ??

It'd typically be bubbling at idle too if it was blown, How does your oil look? Milky at all? How about your exhaust, Any white smoke or is it burning pretty clean? Also, Park the car on some dry pavement and come back in a few hours and take a look underneath.

Check for any bad hoses, as mentioned above if it was a head gasket you'd likely be seeing milky oil, white exhaust etc.

If possible, do a leak-down test

my oil is pretty clean no white smoke no dripping coolent so idk i even check the tranny fluid but idk what it can be and yea no bubbleing on idle so i dont know do you think it has air in the line

could be air but it still shouldnt be getting low after weeks. try parking it on an incline. could have a coolant leak that is dripping on the subframe so you dont see the leak on the gtound and blows away when you start driving. Perform a cylinder leak down test. it will tell you if its the hg or not.
