Hi, I replaced a leaking thermostat gasket, and threw in a new thermostat because I was in there. I have read the procedure where you take off the bleed valve on top of housing and fill radiator and then top off bleeder valve. A few issues I'm having:
1.) When I am filling up bleeder valve it makes radiator overflow. From what I'm reading, the bleeder should fill with fluid and then I tighten down but this doesn't happen. It simply starts coming out of the radiator.
2.) When I turn the car on, with the rad cap off, the fluid starts to pour out of the radiator cap. What is this about? I'm worried it's water pump related.
Thanks!
