I bought another RL 2003 bubbling out of RAD ?
 
I bought a 2003 RL and I love these cars but I think I may be in for a little trouble, the car runs perfect but the radiator has bubbles coming out of it and I hope it is not a head gasket, any input would be great and yes when you step on the gas it bubbbles more.

Is there an easy fix ? thanks for any help......

Do a compression test

Thanks, I think I may have it figured out. I think there is something in the anti freeze that is making it bubble up. I am going to try a flush first. The Acura mechanic told me these things very rarely blow head gaskets....

Possible air in the system?

Gasket can be blown if previous youngin drove it like a SPORT car which is far from that.... Always use OEM radiator fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid and transmission fluid....Never use aftermarket !!!!

Radiator fluid dark?? Change radiator, 80.00 car parts.com, tranny fluid leaking into it!!! First check that thermostat is properly installed as they have that floater pin in it like Subaru!!
