ok, i've had enough,

so, i've pretty much replaced everything in my cooling system except the rad and heater core...

it has an issue of, when i'm waiting somewhere, or parked, it likes to heat up and "pee" on the ground... when moving it's A+, NO air in system, hoses are not rock hard, very pliable, not like when my heads were gone, those hoses were so damn hard..

first off, if i immediately drive and cruise while it starts from C, it runs here...

and when i'm in town driving, but not sitting at lights and such for very long, it runs here

now, this is what it does when i sit...

First Five Minutes after i began the test

Seven Minutes

Nine Minutes

Eleven Minutes

Thirteen Minutes

Now things get serious, if i don't drive or crank the heat, even with the fans on (i can hear them) the car will climb visibly

Fifteen Minutes

Mind you, it seems normal for a car, in 100* heat, with non working fans, but my fans are on , low not very fast.. but on nonetheless, and it's 25* out...

should i spring for the rad? it's the only part left, oh yeah, in that test period, here's the pee it made, i CAN NOT TRACE THIS LEAK

i CAN NOT trace that leak, and it only does that when i sit, if i drive it in, and put it on the lift, it's completely dry, i've traced this the best i can, UV dye, in the air with a flashlight, all around, no wet, no marks... WTF!?!?

and this is 3 minutes behind the wheel, so in three minutes it dropped at least 40*, but the fans did nothing, this makes no sense...

like i said, the car has had this issue for ages, since i got it, and like i said also, i'm fixing all the issues... the heads were done 550 miles ago, along with all hoses, i checked all the clamps, nice and tight... brand new surge bottle... this is strange huh?
