I have tried a new radiator cap with the arrow indicator that aligns with the over flow tube but still it won't work. I bet this is something simple that I am missing but this has been a problem for years and it reminds me of a nagging tooth ache. Got any suggestions ? Thanks.

As the coolant cools down, it shrinks into a smaller space and suck in more coolant to take up the new space. If there is a leak anywhere in the cooling system, it will draw in air through that hole instead so what you need to do is pressure test the cooling system and find the leak. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
