Boy, that was hard to read, but I'll give it a try.

Where, exactly is it leaking from? It sounds like the water is leaking from the junction where the hose from the AST meets the overflow tank. If that is so, then the engine will not pull the water back when it cools, and it will suck air in instead, resulting in your symptoms. I'd look for a problem with the sealing of that hose to the overflow tank, or a blockage in the tank nipple at that point. If you stop that leak, it should be OK (assuming I understood your very poorly written post).
