I'M PUSHING COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR TO THE OVERFLOW BOTTLE IN AS LITTLE AS 4 MILES. THE HARDER I DRIVE THE CAR THE FASTER IT HAPPENS. I PUT THE COOLANT FROM THE BOTTLE BACK TO THE RADIATOR AND CAN DRIVE AGAIN WITHOUT OVERHEATING. I'VE TRIED BLEEDING THE RADIATOR WITH THE BLEEDER ON THE RADIATOR SEVERAL TIMES. I'VE ALSO REPLACED THE RADIATOR CAP. IT STILL DOES THIS. ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED.
THANX BRIAN

If you have replaced the thermostat latley, and have used an aftermarket brand, take it out and get one from the dealer. Subaru t-stats have a little bleeder valve in them that lets air escape, so the system will bleed.
