Radiator/coolant issue...
ok so i replaced my radiator yesterday and replaced all the fluid in it and i drove on the highway for like ten min and i parked it and went inside and when i came out a lot of radiator fluid (antifreeze and water) leaked everywhere on the ground and under my body on the side that the overflow container is and also the side that the lower hose is that leades to the engine. and again this morning it did the same. i cant figure it out where it is leaking from and i am pretty sure i did the instal correctly... any suggestions would be great. it is a 3.4 by the way.
thanks
bobby
edit... and when running it leaks out a lot more... if that helps.

really thats cool. im not really 100% sure on how to ive just heard about it. maybe try searching air bubbles. but since its reading normal it may be a bad hose connection somewere. you could maybe start the motor and wait for the leak to start then look around and see if you can spot the exact area of the leak

wish i could be more help but thats all i can think of that or head gasket but if that were the case you would definelty notice something isnt right about how your truck runs

could be all around the head gasket mainly the back or the sides the exhaust manifolds are on. look around the heads and look for leaks of coolant there that could be it but im doubting that. not to mention the truck would run very porly but it never hurts to look

burping--- fill radiator up, with cap OFF, turn the truck on, heat on full blast and sit and wait till it gets to running temp then shut it off and cap it. then fill the overflow tank accordingly..
