You have to do this process several times to get all of it out. If you got air in the lines, this is the only way to get them out. Otherwise, when you opened the cap on a hot engine, the coolant overflows and air escapes through the cap and drains through the overflow tube. You'll see drips on the right side by the rear tire. Not sure why you are leaking on the left side though. Could be another leak at the oil cooler.
Keep checking it and enjoy.

Thanks for the suggestion, I would try it out.
