run it... let it idle, check if your fan goes on at all... if it doesnt thats your problem and the leaking would actually be boiling water in your reservoir

the fan does come on after it starts to get perty hot and it will just hold it at the -to hot- temp it dont cool it down if that makes sense

Yeah enough to prevent the head from getting out of control, but not enough to actually lower the temp. Got it.

what do you suggest sebb? im still thinking there might be a leak somewhere on a hose or radiator, as he is loosing coolant which is why he does not cool down unless he gets air in...
