Cls550 heating problem
Hey guys, first time doing mechanical work did my thermostat because my car reaches hot tempratures and shoots coolant from resevoire, replaced thermostat , still havent bled the cooling system because i dont know how. I took my car to a coolant pressure test because my car still overheats after rrplacing thermostat. Turns out i have a radiator leak. Is my car still doing that because my radiator leaking or is it soemtheing else, btw no white smoke or coolant mixing. 2008 cls550 127k miles

A leak or clogged up? If its a leak, then there is pressure loss and then I would not expect shooting coolant. Did you also check the waterpump? Normally, the overflow pipe should have some coolant trickle when the engine is running. If this is not the case, then it will still overheat as the pump is broken and hot coolant will not be circulated
