Please help over heating issues
A few weeks ago I noticed the smell of antifreeze. I looked under the hood and saw antifreeze leaking from the bypass hose. The leak was right where the coupling was at, or where the hose ran in front of the engine. So I got the hose changed. Then the car started running hot. I told the guy to burp the system and the temp was good for awhile, but then it started to heat up again. Before this my car never ran hot, even with the leak. Any ideas?

You have to burp this car ALOT, not just once.

Your radiator is cracked at the seam. Replace the radiator and burp the system.

I went to pick up the car today. New radiator and thermostat. Fans are working, but it is still overheating. When I told the guy about burping the system he acted like he doesnt believe me. I can hear the sound of water sloshing when I first drive the car. My fear is I wont be able to find anyone to burp the system properly. And I cant drive it home bc it overheats.
