So this is the results. I did the pressure check, and it was leaking somewhere slowly, but i think it was through the machine itself. I changed the radiator anyway, and then I realized that the same thing was happening after I changed it, so I looked in the radiator and didnt see the antifreeze pumping, so that made me think its the waterpump, but I just replaced it a couple months ago. So I felt on the upper and lower hoses coming from the radiator, and felt no flows of anything, so tomorrow I'm gonna change the waterpump, but if it isn't that, do anyone have any suggestions of what it can be?? Pleaze help!!
THe car gets hot pretty fast. I drive down two blocks and its by the the H, hot, hot. I checked the oil and tailpipes for water or anything, but there's nothing there, so someone pleaze help me, THANKS!!

how fast did the pressure drop? ive had a pressure tester leak as well. Theres not much to a cooling system. if your pump, hoses, radiator and thermostat is good. and you have no flow seems like you have clog some where. your going to have to flush the system. or your thermostat is in backwards.

Hi,

Like the above poster said, make sure your fan is working correctly. Did you flush the heater core too?
