All good advice on cleaning the cooling system. Probably what's causing it in the end. The tip about the shutters, if you're equipped with them, is also good. If so, make sure they actually operate and open (lever forward) the way they're supposed to. A lot of them rust in place from lack of use. How's your thermostat?

System capacity is about 15 quarts, i.e., if you can only drain twelve out, that would tell you that you've got three quarts of sludge in there.
