With the money youve dumped into this little guys cooling system you should have converted it to a open loop system. Secondly if you didnt back fill the system when the thermostat is closed you will (overflow) but once it opens up you should experiance basically the coolant system gulping down the fluid until its full. If its bubbling like a bastard.. you probably have a blown head....

My first thought was blown head gasket.
The Renix closed cooling system works fine as long as all the components are in good condition. Don't convert it.
