    have you bled the system of air yet? if it rises and drops while driving that could be it, just air trapped, theres a bleeder on the t stat housing.

    if there was a crack it would leak. id change the t stat maybe. and the rad cap, both are cheap. maybe do a flush while your at it if thats not been done. antifreeze dont last forever.
