Did tou change your t-stat when you change your pump? What are the condition of hoses? Are they original one?

Do you smell coolant inside?
ok thanks for the reply
there is no coolant smell coming out of the exhaust, just a little oil smoke when started but not white or grey. the hoses are factory replacments in good shape, the t-stat looked fairly new. no water in oil just fresh oil, have ran the 7 around the block a few times it does not heat up past the middle of the normal range on the gauge. just the buzzer goes off and will not shut off untell the key is turned off. upon restart the buzzer waits about 45 seconds to sound off then goes tell i shut the car off. i have put the rx on a incline to have the radiator higher than the motor then took off the rad. cap fill with fresh coolant 50/50 mix and started the car. bubbles for about 30 seconds then nothing fill the rest of the way and let her warm up tell the t-stat opens and add more coolant when it droped below the filler neck. let it run for about 30 min with no loss of coolant or bubbles in the system. so i just put the cap on and took her around the block a few times, then the buzzer kicks on. i have read about the coolant seals going bad and this is sounding a little more like that to me the more i look into the problems. the thing that gets me is it runs great no missing no stumbles and its pretty quick.
there is no coolant leaking any were on the out side of the motor or external cooling system. the heater core is not leaking no puddle in floor board or out the drain tube on the under side of the car. i thank you for you help.

i notice this place is kinda dead i hope it pick ups. good to be apart of this forum thanks again..
Brian
