Hey Mike,

Did all of this start happening after you replaced the thermostat. If so that may be your problem. My car has a slow leak I suspect since changing my thermostat. It is just a bit too cold up here in chicago to play with it at this time. I will take it out soon and drill a small hole in it to promote removal of air. Also my thermostat was not OEM so that may be the problem too.

Anyway I know how you feel.
