So, I fixed the leak, replaced the thermostat, checked the head gasket(no leak). And the car is still overheating.
It takes about 10-15 min of normal driving conditions for the car to start overheating. (by overheating the needle pins to the red.) There is no leak from the radiator or anywhere through the cooling system.I am going to try a radiator flush. However i am open to any suggestions.
