i had 2 radiators bust at the seals and pour coolant all over the ground. they were both new radiators from auto zone too. so after the second one i made them give me a bit of a better one and its worked fine since. I think the problem was because I forgot to bleed the system for air the other times...

Fixed it! Checked it this morning and it was the seals on the top of the radiator, all the hoses were good. Went to auto zone and got a new radiator ($90) with a lifetime warranty, coolant, and tranny fluid. Replaced the old radiator and the fluid then ran it until the system aired out and topped it off then waited until the fan cut on just to make sure all was good. Car is running fine and at temp again! Thanks for all the help guys!

This sounds odd, but change your radiator cap too. A faulty cap can cause you to leak out fluid and go through this entire deal again.
