My bros car is leaking coolant and I go over there to find out whats up with the car. I check these over and dont see any leaks from anywhere even after I fill the car up and bleed the system. Start up the car and still no leaks, from anywhere. So finally it gets upto about 180 which the fans should turn on where the tune is set with a 160* t-stat. The fans start to turn on and coolant just keeps spilling out of the radiator like it has giant air pockets, But there is no air in the system. I fill the raidiator again and it just keeps spilling fluid out and temps will reach over 220*. I can hear a lil screeching sound like the water pump bearing or something. But again, no leaks from anywhere. Im thinking the water pump took a **** and its NOT flowing in the radiator. Both upper and lower radiator are scolding hot at 220* and thats when coolant goes everywhere. What ya guys thinkin. Im tired and off to rest

its been running perfet for a 2 weeks. The only used parts are the water pump and t stat. I removed the t stat to see if it was open and it was. I then put the it back together and left the t stat out. Ran the car and the same thing, No leaks and water just pouring out of the radiator
