tried bleeding it, didnt help, unless i didnt do it for long enough but now i got a new problem

I Love (.)(.)

check behind the timing cover to see if its leaking at the water pump. let it get up to oper. temp and look around. it has to be leaking if the oil is fresh and its not smoking at all

here is how you can check for a cracked head or block.
step one- remove the radiator cap
step two- take a rubber band and a sandwich baggie and secure the baggie to the top of the radiator like a ballon makes sure there is no air in the bag.
step three- start the engine if the bag blows up like a ballon then there is exaust gases getting into the coolant system wich over pressurizes the system pushing everything into the over flow.
you can buy a block test kit at napa for $150 but this way will tell you the same thing.

I'll check tomorrow for any leaks again. And so basically if it blows up then it's a cracked head or block

whpazz

yes there shoulldn't be air pressure.

Went and checked for leaks, I didn't see anything and I did the sandwhich bag thing and there was no air in it

Any more suggestions before I'm forces to take it to a shop which I can't afford

hmm have u changed any performance parts that have been on the car awhile or changed the exhaust system? id be careful, might have a headgasket getting ready to pop.

Sounds like a headgasket or warped head to me.
If there isn't a leak then that's the only other way for coolant to be getting used up.

Especially if it's already reached the "hot" line, or close to it.

thats what im thinkin. this usually happens right before the headgasket pops.
