shooting coolant out of reservoir/defunct heater
After replacing my blown headgasket, car ran perfect for about a week. Then I noticed coolant would shoot out of the reservoir, so I first thought it was trapped air, so I parked it on a steep hill and burped it. Stopped shooting coolant out of the reservoir for about a day or two. Then it started again, so I thought air was getting in through somewhere. Replaced the cap, and it stopped for a few weeks until now. I went to go burp it again only now I noticed that the heater doesn't work (because I never use it here in San Diego)! I don't think its the heater core since I don't have any coolant leaks (inside or out). I think its air getting in through somewhere. Unless its a bad thermostat, but I it doesn't overheat (could it be stuck open?).
