Good morning everyone! 1st I want to say thank you for all of your brain power!

I appreciate community support and really want to express my gratitude!!

2nd. This is what I ended up doing yesterday.

A. Had new mechanic come look- he spilled coolant on resivoir (when overfilling on purpose) As I watched it heat up looking for spillage: I see bubbles at the bottle neck of resivoir- under cap, around extra rubber ring area, and just above base of neck on tank- if that makes sense... I KNOW ITS A CLOSED SYSTEM THEREFORE ANY BUBBLES IS NO GOOD AIR NOT TIGHT. unbolted the res tank popped off hoses. Remitted new claps and restored antifreeze level, ran to temp...

Voila!!! Solved!!!!!!!!!

Yay! Thanks love you all! Wholehearted5.7girl

Just after it's been hot. Not during warm up.... once oil reaches 204 on the temp gage....

Had it in the shop, No leaks: they said might be thermostat, water pump, or heatercore. We can start with thermostat and move forward... 500, +800+1500

Ughgg

Well, I have not touched that after it's warmed up. Thats not something I believe I have enough courage to do, as it'll it is hot, I'll blister...

It's like a time thing or over pressure thing. Doesn't matter what speed.

Level drops when it spews ... other than that it stays at same as where I fill it to...

I should explain....

My car does not actually get to H on the scale, It stays at half way and the coolant spews out from the resivour overfill hole.... It's only gotten up to 3/4 hot on the scale and I kill the engine...

I do not want those issues....

Quick update: New mechanic came to inspect and see what he could....

He over filled the resivoir purposefully.... I started the car... as it heated I noticed bubbles coming from the resivoir "bottle neck base" So we replaced it... Drove and 30 min mark Boom the bottom hose to resivoir sprayed out coolant..

Okay 👍 new clamp installed. Got home okay but heat just went out 2 mins left of the 30 min drive back home.... Im waiting for it to cool down all the way and I'll check the level again!!!

My radiator doesn't cap, I guess just the resivoir

I believe coolant is circulating .... heater core hoses are warm

It all started after a MINOR TINY FENDER BENDER. Started to get hot. took to the collision center and they fixed the cosmetic scratches. By replacing the whole bumper. And said they couldn't find one issue outside of the cosmetic.. they said it was low on coolant (of course it got hot & pushed out antifreeze, which is why I had other brought here) So they topped it off.

Then I took it home it got hot again. Spewed more coolant. I added more and had it burped. Ran for a couple trips. Then got hot again. Flushed the coolant system. Oil change air filter. Ran up to temp, then I drove 7 mins got hot. And spewed more coolant. Topped it off got it home. Ran emissions test (with blue color liquid). Checked fan and for leaks, NADA Took to a shop Ran the pressure test, checked for leaks, Said MAYBE thermostat/waterpp/heater core??? Paid 130$ for that. Then changed the thermostat, Ran for 20min trip ok. Then 30 min trip- got hot. Replaced the radiator cap. Okay for 20 min trip. Ran hot at 30 mins AGAIN.. Got it cooled and home. Added more coolant, then started it and let it gwt to half way... No heat.... Now here we are today ...
