Bubbles under filler cap of the radiator

they come from the rear direction of the car, not the radiator hose... is it supposed to build up pressure under the radiator filler cap?

Why are there bubbles?

How are you getting bubbles if its not running? Anyways sounds like there is just alot of air in the system.

Leave the filler cap off and pull the EGI INJ fuse. Crank the car, is it gushing out? If yes coolant seals are gone buy a new block.

Now running or cranking a few little bubbles or what not are normal.

You say it’s just running hot. Could be a few things.
Blown coolant seals, Bad fan, and bad T-Stat, clogged RAD, improper coolant mixtures, running lean, bad water pump.

I know its the incorrect coolant mixture.. I've just been adding water to keep it full because while it was running all the coolant went somewhere.. ??? I took off the bottom radiator cap and it was bone dry..

Where is the EGI INJ fuse?
