My KA24DE has had many leaks and I have fixed all leaks. After I fill up the radiator and and bleed the system the car still overheats. I don't think my head gasket is blown because I'm not shooting out smoke and I changed my oil and it looks fine. I still think there is air bubbles in the system because it still overheats but I see no leaks at all. The problem is, when I unscrew the air release bolt and run the engine, hardly anything comes out of the air release hole and my radiator is topped off full. Also coolant went back into my overflow tank and now its almost full. So what causes coolant to flow back into my overflow tank? Why is there nothing coming out of the air release hole? I'm thinking there might be something wrong with the upper radiator hose?
