my cars system get air into it somehow, itll overflow the coolant overflow tank and ill refill it and bleed out all the air and 2-3 days later the problems back! i thought maybe a blown coolant seal, but id be losing coolant, not displacing it, right? what do you guys think?

Combustion gases are entering your cooling system probably due to a bad coolant seal. Rebuild time! How many miles are on your motor?

Don't just trust anyone to rebuild your motor! Do some research and make an informed decision. I'm on my second rebuild in two years.

yes it is entirely possable you have a bad rad cap /caps
but you should be able to tell by looking at the rubber on the caps. if the rubber is bigger then the metal disk behing it you need a new cap/ caps
you should test the coolant for hydrocarbons with a bolck integraty test kit
