Alright so my car is overheating slightly. Brand new radiator and cap. Brand new thermostat. No oil in coolant nor any water in oil. Drove a short 15 min trip and hot air is making coolant in resevoir to bubble. Any suggestions?

Are these components operational? Water pump, cooling fans and there's no air in the system-if all okay get it block and pressure tested to find out more.

Yes all operational. Have not flushed nor checked air in the system. Read where there could be an air pocket around the thermostat? Can this still occur after a 2hr+ trip and 3 full days of driving? Within that time period NO problems. The boiling just started happening today, any other suggestions?

Thanks again! -John
