Having trouble cooling down my engine... Changed the thermostat, water pump, lower and upper hoses.... Had the system flushed ... I have elevated the car and had the airpockets removed... Changed the fan clutch... Does not have water in the oil or any oil entering the cooling system.... I dont think the head gaskets are blown??? No white smoke coming out of the exhaust..... But when the engine overheats it spits out the coolant through the resevoir.... The only thing i hear when all this mess happens is a little hissing noise coming out of the radiator but cant find any leaks of coolant???? Could it be the radiator shop did not weld the radiator correct... Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When i removed the shroud when replacing water pump i noticed the radiator was cracked and leaking slowly.... I had the radiator roded and cleaned.... When i test drove it i hear a hissing sound by the radiator cap today.... Also i replaced radiator cap ..... Its driving me a little nuts... Going to the radiator shop tomorrow to have radiator inspected see if it has a hair line crack..... I have checked everything...... Thank you for your response....
