About six months ago I replaced my timing belt, water pump, radiator, thermostat, and changed out the coolant. I did not have any problems with bleeding then, I just poured the coolant in the overflow tank slowly and everything ran normally. A couple months later, a coolant leak comes up and I just start to ignore it. I would top it off when the coolant light came on, but one time I got really lazy and the light was on for a long time. I would drive it, constantly monitoring the coolant temp gauge and it never got into the red. Well, I finally decided to top it off again and it didn't take much coolant and still overheated. I just drained the coolant out of the radiator and refilled it trying to pour slowly. I wasn't able to pour a large amount of coolant in through the overflow tank so i disconnected some of the hoses at the thermostat housing and filled those up with fluid. I tried bleeding it, I turned the heater on and at first it would only blow hot when I drove but now it sees to be blowing hot all the time. But the part that really screws with me is that the driver side part of the radiator gets hot but the passenger side is not. I just replaced the radiator so I wouldnt think it could be clogged. And it still continues to overheat. Any suggestions?
