Any ideas of what it could be or how I could fix it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could try bleeding the coolant system but that is unlikely going to be the issue or help. are you seeing bubbles in the cooling system when the car is idling? any oily residue?

If you notice a fair sized cloud or puff out of the exhaust under a bootful then its definitely a head gasket unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
