on top of the radiator there is a level sensor. Check to see if its connected to a cable. IF its not, then what you can do is grab the 1 wire cable and ground it.

You may also want to purge your coolant system. Also, do you use the air bleeding plug when you add to fill coolant?

How did you purge the system? To me it still sounds like air pocket in the cooling system.

ok well, in this case. while your car is cool, remove the rad cap, and start the car... If water pours out the neck or unordinary ammount of bubbles, then your coolant seal is gone, and therefore you need to rebuild the motor.

Ck your oil and see if you see coolant going into it. And sure way to see if you have blown seal is smoke coming out from your exhaust.
