It's probably not even adequately filled.

Yeah, we had the hoses on and off several times, replaced the waterpump, etc. I didn't bleed the air out last time I added some more coolant.

also make sure that the overfill hose is in the right position by the radiator, I think its on the top nipple. look at the connections again. that mistake is very easy to make.
