[urq] cooling system

Is this indicative of any particular problem?  Or might it be
considered normal?  Two coolant leaks back-to-back could be
coincidence, I suppose...

When I had this problem in 2002, I had to replace many many parts because
all would fail one after the other :
heater valve, upper hose, radiator, coolant hose, water pump. Then, it
stopped leaking. I guess i am on the verge of a major leak now...

Also, when refilling the engine (after an head swap), I found that it was
real difficult to fill the engine because of water pockets somewhere. It
took me a couple of cycles (heat + cool down) to remove all the air
completely. This was frightening : a brand new rebuilt head, the first time
I start the engine, I clearly heard water bubbling and hissing right at the
upper hose junction. Stopped the engine, still more bubbling and water
vapor coming out of the expansion tank... Real scary.

HTH,
