Sounds like a honda or toyota that someone had never seal a spark plug seal before.....hahaha that indeed is pretty funny.
Reminds me of my younger hacking days where I had this dodge intrepid 2.7 I couldnt figure out why it was over heating. So I threw radiators, hoses, t-stats, flushes, water pumps the whole 9 yards. Weird part was it would only over heat SOMETIMES.
So beating my brains in and having my then manager screaming at me, I didnt know what to do. So I was zoning out just staring at it one day and I saw something weird. I saw what looked like a brake bleeder screw in the middle of the intake by the t-stat housing. I called over the senior mechanic at the time and asked "what the hell is a bleeder screw doing on a fuckin intake manifold?" He looked at me and laughed his ass off. "You know these late model chryslers need to have the cooling system bleed right?" "Ummmmm NO!"
SO long story short, I got the engine warm, cracked that bleeder open and Ill be damn if a a shit ton of air came out. Filled up the system. All was good in HRD's world.
Till 3 days later when the car came back with a overheating problem, but the symptoms were different this time. Same senior mechaninc finally felt sorry for me, came over to help. "Son, did you test the cap?" "Test it? No, I looked at it, had some rust but I cleaned it up and put the old one back on." *busts out tester* *cap is a piece of shit* FFFFFFUUUUU. Radiator cap was the issue the whole time!! The bleeding of the system was a result of me changing out coolant and shit *facepalm*.
Since then I have never had an issue with chrylser cooling systems. I usually have to fuck something up before I learn how to do it the right way. Good thing I have fucked up a lot of shit!
