Here's the story:
My car was overheating and come to find out it was due to a bad water pump. Got the water pump changed. That day I drove quite a ways when later in the evening while I was idling my coolant started coming out of the overflow and also thru the cap. The engine temp was reading about 220. I initially thought it was due to a bad head gasket from the overheating, but an employee at Auto Zone declined. He said I would have smoke from tailpipe and anti-freeze mixed in with oil (oil would look like coffee). This weekend I noticed that the only time the temperature goes above 200 is when I am idling. If it starts to rise and I start driving and turn the heat on full blast the temp drops back down to 200. As soon as I idle again it starts back to rise and I repeat the process and it goes back down to 200. What are all the possible things that could be wrong? If I need to bleed the system is it something simple, and if so how?
