I wouldn't have used the "Cooling system plug-up" fluid anyway. Doesn't
sound like an air pocket though...check your radiator cap and see if it's
actually holding pressure.
The fluid being 1-2" low makes sense if it's blowing it out the overflow and
the radiator cap isn't holding the pressure.

Subject: DML: Cooling system problem
Hi,
I just flushed out the 92 Dak 4x4 5.2L AT using a T-connector on the
heater hose. Then filled the system with 11oz or Bar's leak (prevents
or stops leaks) and anti-freeze. The problem is that after the truck
is stopped and turned off, the coolant comes out of the system onto the
floor via the overflow tank. When cooled down I look inside the
radiator and the coolant level is down about 1-2 inches. Filling it
back up the same happens, out on the floor. Nothing is coming out when
engine is running.
I called Bar's leak and they said I have air in the system.
Is this true? If so how do I purge out any air pockets?
If not true, what can I do to fix the problem?
I've changed coolant in this engine over a doz times and this never
happened. I am wondering if the Bar's product caused something to
change?
