Hi there. It sounds like there may be compression leaking past the cylinder head gasket into the cooling system. Does the vehicle overheat? Has it ever overheated? How does the engine run on a cold start? A good inspection by a qualified technician will uncover the root cause of the cooling system failure. I suggest having a qualified technician perform a cooling system inspection to avoid replacing unnecessary parts. Your Mechanic has several available technicians that can assist you with a cooling system inspection.
