Default Splashing coolant!

My car has been overheating for a while and I’ve been trying to figure out why. Every time I try to burp the system, a lot of air seems to get pushed out of the no spill funnel once the car reached operating temperature. I changed the thermostat and water pump but nothing helped. I also keep checking my coolant levels and they never really dropped. I did a combustion gas test on the car also the fluid stayed blue so I don’t think it’s a head gasket, unless it could be but can’t be detected by the test I have no ideal, but anything helps. Thanks!

I’ll try the put coolant directly into the blender screw, but then again still haven’t seen anyone else with that problem of coolant shooting out the funnel.

If you searched enough, you'd figure out that you just gotta keep cycling thru the steps. No need to freak out about a head gasket or anything. Lots of us have been through this.

Sorry if I came off as an *** but the info has been given to you. A couple times. Just keep at it.
