Hi bob, Look for foam or bubbles in the top of the radaitor, excessive pressure building, black floaters in the water and over heating, milkey oil. Try retourqing the head gasket. You can use sodium silicate(egg whites) to temporary solve the problem. Use about 1/4 of a pint and pour in radaitor while engine is running, too much and it'll plug up the cooling system and you'll have to flush with fresh water to remove it, use less with anti-freeze and sometimes you have to drain the anti-freeze. Takes about 1/2hr to react and plug the holes.
Most pharmacy's carry it, why I don't know.
