He said, and I quote, "The temp was OK and there's no obvious leak on my driveway but it has lost nearly 2 thirds of the coolant in just a few miles, I'm hoping it might be an air in the system problem but I am no mechanic at all and have no idea what it is. No visible leak, then the coolant goes out the exhaust as vapor which will point to a cracked head. That is why I posted my message as written. Glad the bleeding worked instead of a cracked head.
