Its running hot. Not leaking water, no water in the oil and no water in the tail pipe. As long as I'm going its ok for a while but if I hit the brakes it starts getting hot. Can't locate a valve to see if it has an air pocket. Have put 2.5 gallons of antifreeze in 2 days but cannot figure out where its going. Any ideas? What should I check first or do?

If there is no leaks, then you most likely are burning it from a possible blown head gasket from runiing hot. Get a leak down test to confirm the gaskets are good or bad
