Replace the rad cap (with new OEM!). If that doesn't help, get the head
gasket checked out.

almost certainly head gasket.

continue to observe for bubbles. if still present after full purge of
system, gasket's gone and needs replacement soonest before damage to
head or block occurs.

Hey Guys,

Okay, the same commute as before and there were no bubbles in the
resevior tank. I found the problem with the condenser fan, I hot wired
both fans and found that the motor for the condenser fan is bad. I'm
in the process of replacing the motor for the condenser fan. Before I
left my home this morning, I topped off all the fluids first, but only
the resevior tank needed anti-freeze ( it wasn't totally empty, but was
pretty low). After my commute today ( no bubbles in the resevior
tank), I looked under the hood, and saw the resevior tank was again
low.....this was right after I got out of the car from my 30 minute or
so commute. I'm now waiting for the engine to cool off, to check and
see if I need to add anymore anti-freeze. I will let you know how it
goes, but if you have any other recommendations in the mean time, this
would be much appreciated.
