How would air get trapped in a sealed cooling system?
Causes of Trapped Air in Cooling System A car’s cooling system is closed and pressurized, with the radiator cap retaining this pressure. If the radiator cap fails, however, coolant may escape and air may enter; thus, leading to trapped air in the cooling system.
What should I do if coolant is coming out of my engine?
If your engine has air bleed valves, open them simultaneously as you are adding the coolant. Close them when coolant is flowing out from them. Anti-freeze is toxic, and you should always check that your coolant is not flowing down in any wells on your floor or the road. All coolant should be returned to your local environmental assessment.
Is there a way to bleed coolant out of a car?
There are actually two different methods of getting the air out from your cooling system. The manual method is the old style variant of bleeding the coolant system. Some cars have an air bleed valve to get the air out from the system, and some cars don’t have this air bleed valve which makes it a lot more difficult.

Where is the cooling system on a Jeep Cherokee?
Park the nose of your rig downhill so that the engine is visibly tilted nose down so any air pockets will flow to the back of the head where the computer’s temp sensor is. (This is NOT the sender for the electric fan. On factory closed cooling systems, that is in the radiator tank on the driver side below/beside air box.)
