Why is My Overflow Coolant Tank Blowing Bubbles?
I have been battling a long coolant problem i was getting an annoying buzzer constantly so i replaced radiator cap, water pump, and thermostat. I have to say the buzzer has not gone off quite as much. I have burped it several times and it seems to last for about 1 day then the buzzer is going off again, i check the coolant level and it is about 1/2 pint low. I have aftermarket temp gauge and i am not overheating while buzzer is going. It seems that it only goes off when i'm stopped, but i burped it and it would buzz at stops, when i got home i popped the hood and i noticed my loss coolant is going to my overflow coolant reservoir, and bubbles/air is coming out of the overflow down tube? Please Help?

As long as its not smoking bad your probably ok. Just keep a VERY good eye on the temperature (getting an aftermarket gauge is a good idea) and top off the coolant every tim you drive it. As long as you don't overheat it you should be ok for a while. But start saving for a rebuild, because it could die soon. All it takes is overheating it once and its pretty much toast.

why does only bubble sometime, for some reason since i've had bad coolant seals it is smoking less than it use to, it usually smokes the first start of the morning very shortly, then i park and leave work 10 hrs later no smoke wouldn't it smoke all the time if the seals were bad? why does it bubble sometime and not others?
