could be looking at coolant seal failure.. I experienced similar things in the few days before my engines self destruction.

asnd aswell, though I to am guilty of doing it, your bumps are like 15 mins apart. if your going to bump make sure the thread has at least fallen a page or 2

Bumps (or your post of can anyone help me) are forbidden here in the 2nd gen technical section. Furthermore it makes you look like an impatient child bumping up your thread so many times so quickly. Your bump has been deleted.

And it sounds like your rad cap is failing

You just need to find & fix the little leak before it becomes a big leak..
