Fill it back up after the thermostat opens and keep an eye on it regularly until you resolve the leak, if there is one.

Watch the recovery tank level and see if it's sucking in coolant, if not you have a cooling system pressure leak somewhere.

Park your car so the front is highest air goes to the highest point. Start ya car take off rad cap get it to temp and have ya heater on full blast. The air will bubble out like that for a while if you have air pockets in the system. Just keep topping it up when it get low. Once it stops bubbling put ya cap back on and happy days

That's not uncommon. There was still some air in the system and it's just working it's way out. Fill the radiator back up and also the overflow tank.

Go ahead and burp the system. This video tells you how to do it.



Easy fix go to parts store pick up a pressure tester the if you don't lose pressure then it was a air pocket in the system and fill it back up leave the cap off till all bubbled stop

I have a 2001 camaro that I recent had the radiator replaced because it was cracked and leaking antifreeze and everything was going okay until a week later when I noticed my cars antifreeze was not at the top it was slightly below the radiator neck so long story short I'm wondering if I have a cracked head or if I need to burp/bleed the radiator since its new antifreeze and a new radiator my car has no leaks at all from the outside and does not shoot out smoke here's a videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlDGtzBPAxQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
