I know my head gasket is leaking but my radiator keeps pressuring up and leaking before it even gets fully warmed up. I replaced the thermostat, upper and lower radiator hose, radiator cap. My car will start, but shortly after, my bottom radiator hose will start leaking through one of the clamps. I know the radiator is supposed to have some pressure but the hoses are rock hard. WHY? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I was hoping someone else had this problem and could help me, without, having to do the Head gasket because I am very low on money. If I could get the pressure problem fixed I could at least drive it around for a few days to get some money to fix it. Later.
