    Where can coolant be going to?????

    easiest way to tell if it a head gasket leak is take it to a shop or buy the kit to do a hydrocarbon test... only works for blown hg, cracked head, and cranked blocks... but it still could be an intake leak

    the car should have around 20 lbs of vac... i would check that first cause i have a similar problem on my cobra and im missing vac

    I'm starting to give up....

    to check for vacuum leaks first thing you do is put a gauge on it the the car should have 15 to 20 lbs of vac at an idle.... if the needle is jumping around you may have an internal problem... if its low and steady it a possible vacuum leak or ignition timing problem.

    03 spilling from the cap on the coolant resevoir???

    idk if i was gonna spend 75 dollars on that car i wouldn't do it on bleeding the system.... take it to a shop and have them do a hydrocarbon test... in the test they remove the cap and take a solution and check for hydrocarbons.... the reason for doing this test is depending on how bad the car...
