Car would overheat at idle, fans would come on but stay on and temp would rise and not come Down unless it was revved..
Whilst driving temp would be ok on the gauge but spit coolant out the overflow on the road leaving a trail especially when accelerating hard.
Whenever I Bled the rad the air would come back into it
Done a 'sniff test' and it failed that, passed all the other tests.
My thinking is the car didn't blow its gasket thru lack of coolant or overheatingt etc, more like its age related. The gasket has 37 years on it and I think its a weep that started few years ago and has now gotten big enough to be a problem...
We ll see soon enough when it's stripped down
Smell of coolant out of exhaust travelling behind not mad but noticeable and also towards the end oil in the intake manifold which was never there before
