Air in the system?

Was it bled properly following the rad change? Sounds like that's what it needs if not...

gasket failure? check for mayo :(

It's bound to be an airlock, unless you're losing water. did you let it idle when topping it up?

Ummm... There was a post about a 'proper' way of removing airlocks. Something to do with squeezing the air out of the top hose and re-topping-up the header.
