Ok, i'm trying to bleed the coolant and as soon as the fan comes on coolant blows from underneath the car. It looks as if its coming from the lower radiator hose where it connects to the radiator, but the hose is BRAND NEW, and i don't know if its just that i can't get a good seal? its not tight enough? i don't know... any thoughts?

Are you re-using the stock clamp? If so try putting on a new one and see it that helps.

Are you sure it's not surging out of the overflow tank? That is usually where it will come from. I mean did you pull the shroud out of the way to see for certain that it is coming from the lower Rad hose?

If it IS coming from the lower radiator hose, it just prob isnt sealed quite right. I would definitely say get new clamps, and try to reposition the hose. But FIRST I would make sure that is where it is coming from.
