Sounds like blown head gasket.You want to fix that or you will need new engine.Get it checked at a shop

Depending on where the bubbles are at, it could mean a few different things. If they are near the filler cap, it could mean that the cap might be bad. Any where else, it's a good possiblity that either a weld has broken or there is a hole in your radiator. The only way to be sure is to have the radiator, (i.e.) cooling system, pressure tested.

Either cracked head or head gasket issue. Is there an oily residue in the anti freeze? Is the oil mirky or foamy? these are also things to look for with "bubbles".

yes id say its got a lot to do with it,,i own a repair shop,and this usually means it has a leak at that point on the radiator,and if it looses pressure it wont cool properly,,you need to have this repaired, i think it will help with your over heating problem i get a lot of them like this this time of year especially since it has gotten cold weather,,good luck,i hope this help,s.

This is often an indication of a leaking head gasket.. if it gets bad the car will start overheating..and maybe be missing on one cylinder.

are you talking bubbles when you take the cap off? If so you have a cracked head my friend...sorry but that's the norm on that one.
