Sounds like something is leaking under pressure and then stops about the time the thermostat opens up. Opening the heater vent may reduce some of the water pressure and that would help the situation. Check the hoses/seals at the heater core, too, and the water pump gasket. lauraknopsamousergraphics.com http://www.madmousergraphics.com web design, print design, photography
