I have purged, bled and filled the system with Subaru blue coolant using the Lisle funnel setup more times than I care to count.

I do not see any leaks but it seems as though it is sucking in air from somewhere. When I have the Lisle funnel installed, 1/2 filled with coolant, pump running, I see waves of microscopic bubbles (smaller than carbonation bubbles) swirling to the top and an occasional bigger bubble. No matter how long or how many times I cycle the pump on and off, squeeze the hoses, I can't seem to ever get all the air out.

Either I'm doing it wrong or air is being sucked in from somewhere. I am going to pull the bumper off tomorrow and check all the connections.

Any advice would be appreciated.
I've something similar but i think it's normal.

At the top engine stopped. At the bottom engine running !

I was stressed like you the first ten minutes but i fast realised that everything seems ok.
