My fears have been realized. With the problem slowly getting worse, i decided to do the test to confirm my fears. Due to the TB coolant line that went to the top of the engine that split about 2 years ago, i believe 1 of my coolant O-rings took a beating. For a while it was fine, but it has since gotten worse. I was hoping from the best ever since then I have never over heated since then, so this was the only cause.

I knew what it was, when each time i would start my car it sounded like it was on 1 rotor. After a few seconds of me stepping on the gas, it cleared right out and i got the rotor back.

At about a little after a minute into it, i hit the throttle a little to push out any more bubbles, when the t-stat opened again, more bubbles came. I watched it a few times, and each time it opened, the same result occurred.

Before you assume the worst, get yourself a pressure test or hydrocarbon test done.

 

I wish I could be more encouraging, but with the bubbles and your description of cold start-up, I would suspect coolant seal failure. What's does the exhaust smell like at start-up and where is the coolant level in your overflow bottle?

 

Sgtblue, i did not check my coolant overflow bottle. I suspected it was low or empty, as when i opened my t-stat before i did this test, i had to add some coolant to top it off. When i was done, i dumped more coolant into it, so it has a reserve.

As far as the exhaust, i can see some smoke from within the car, it appears whitish to me. From stepping on the gas to clear out the poor rotor, and get it to idle right, it does not smoke anymore at that point. In the past, my exhaust smelt a bit sweet, but not that much that i remember.

I am looking up the pressure test right now, i will do that within a few days, and post the results.

Double check all your coolant lines and make sure they're tight. It might be steam your seeing, not smoke. And it will have a sweet smell.
Often coolant will get stranded in your overflow, since the vacuum is lost through the bad coolant seal as the engine cools. Eventually you'll get a low coolant level buzzer. Another sign of failure. That's why I asked.
