And sorry to not directly answer your questions with my last reply GRM-Alan but yeah I was monitoring the main resevoir and it kept drinking coolant so I kept putting more in. Now my overflow is really full, but I feel like that could also be partially due to me putting to much in the overflow to begin with. And yes I was trying to burp the system 90% of the time with the car on, and I was squeezing the top hose to try and force all air out. The top rad hose also was hot and had coolant in it. If this makes any difference.
