How many miles on it, did you replace the t/stat, does it have the bleed screw located on a black plastic tee or molded into the upper hose, do you know how to bleed the system?

Next time only post one thread regarding the same issue.
As for your issues, quit driving it before you blow a head gasket and send me your number so I can walk you thru what to check.

sorry, im new to this so i post it in the wrong place the first time! tomorrow im checking what codes im getting, i took out the intake because i found out that i had a leak in the intake, is running a lot better and the check engine is not flashing anymore, also i found that i had a coolant leak by the throttle body, the only problem is that one of the bolt broke trying to take it off, so i bypass it until tomorrow that i can get it fix, it is ok to drive it like that till tomorrow?
