I think my head is screwed.

[LeJeune123]

I had the head gasket replaced but did not get the head checked out for time reasons. My car will pressurize the radiator enough for the bottom radiator hose to leak after about 10 minutes of idling. I just replced the thermostat about a month ago. After those 10 minutes of running my temp gauge goes a little over half but when I put my hand on my radiator it is not warm at all. Could this just be my thermostat. Also my car misses a little in the morning. Please someone help because I am going to sell my car if I can't figure this thing out. Thanks for all your help in advance. Later.

sounds like thermostat or bad headgasket

Thanks for the info I'll change the thermostat tomorrow. If that don't help I know it's the head or head gasket. Later

I changed the radiator cap, lower radiator hose, and thermostat now my car will run for about 15 minutes before the bottom radiator hose starts to leak. It leaks quicker if I rev it up or drive it down the road. If it is my head gasket is there anything I can put in the coolant to slow the leak. Thanks for all the help. Later
