You really need to check for bubbles on a cold engine. When the engine is warm, with no pressure (rad cap off) the coolant boils. So you have no way to tell If the bubbles are from the heat or combustion gasses.UPDATE: After I got home and the engine was all nice and warm. I pulled the radiator cap and I could see bubbles forming. Could this be the head gasket or the water pump forming them? I cant remember if its done this is the past (The bubbles when running) since I never really felt the need to watch the coolant when the engine is running.
