        The radiator cap is just shy of three months old. It looks okay. As far as bleeding the system, shouldn’t I be worried about everything going directly into the over spill tank and not coming back into the radiator? Also I do no have a spill free funnel. Should I just say screw it and stick a bucket underneath?

            Used the block tester. No fumes- nothing was even going into the plastic cylinder of the test. Needless to say the fluid was still blue. Can someone please tell me where the bleeder is? Seems like coolant is going in the reseveroir and not going back into the radiator. But I do need to bleed the system (seems like that is the only thing that helps). Any clues on where to find the bleeder screw?

                I will stop by the parts store today to grab a block testing kit. I still don’t know where the bleeder is though. Am I going to have to drain the coolant since it so filled up in the reservoir?

                    So I let the car run for a while and the big fans behind the radiator didn’t come on. It still didnt overheat though. Y’all think it is the radiator after all? Cause I really don’t think fluids are circulating and since the coolant looks good there is obviously no gases that are leaking from the HG.

                        HOLY COW!!! The reservoir is full up to the top of the cap!!! Luckily the antifreeze looks good (no oil dripping or cloudiness). Found this out after checking the level in the radiator itself… There wasn’t any coolant at the base of the neck. What does this mean?

                            This repair manual is a good read, however, it has does not indicate where the bleeder screw is. Anyone know where this would be located? Aren’t I looking for a 12 mm ? I am thinking it is is the screw located under the little hose that connects the radiator to the HG. I have watch the video about bleeding the system ump-teen times but there is no screw like that around the throttle. It is a Honda 2001 civic ex.

                                Nope. They said I would have to take it into the shop.
