i did the dye test no leaks I went for a ride today 10 miles down freeway it stayed right in middle all the way there. came home on the back roads (i was only stopped for 20 minutes) 2 miles down the road it was in the red. so i stop for 30 min while i was stopped i checked hoses top and bottom were hot bottom not as hot as top. heater hoses i think its the inlet on right side was kinda hot other one was much cooler. so im going to try and back blow the heater core just for fun.

Carnau, thanks for your input.....but you should check the dates on the last post.....they are several months old, and the original poster has not posted anything since...either he fixed it or gave up.....
His last post seemed to indicate that his heater core was blocked, and if this was the case, a back flush might have solved his problem....
You are definitely correct on the head bolts, but if he was losing coolant in the cylinders, there should have been a drop in reservoir/radiator, which he did not indicate....
By the way, glad to have a Caddy Guy on the site....
