[QUOTE="elwine30, post: 70126"] new findings today. Bleed my cooling system (via the engine) during the evening. Then my water was running fine. When shopping and etc. After that, on the way back. Decided to do some heroic move, push the car a little harder. After that, my temp goes up again. Same problem. Sigh. Went back home, cool down the car. Found out that the expansion tank bengkak and leak coming out at the bottom of the car. Now, the funny sympton is when I push the car, the water cooling system seems to be STUCK somewhere. And i suspect it didn't go through a full cycle because it didn't reach to my temp cut off switch (which will activate my fan). After I stop my car, the preasure builds up towards my expansion tank. Now, my conclusion is either 1) i need to bleed my radiator water (not only the engine) 2) replace my termostat. Ok, if i do the item 1 above. Let's see my problem comes back again or not. If yes, what else could it be ? my water pump or termostat ????? If water leaks into my head gasket, i do believe I will see milky oil when i pull up my dip stick. And also, oilly water in my expansion tank. Any ideas from sifus here... [/QUOTE]
