you either have an airlock or head gasket failure.

After a coolant change on my classic it done the same, it was an airlock in the system.

Was a bit of a pain to get it out but I was glad it was that and not HG.

Do a search on here for a good way to refill without airlocking. Takes time but well worth it.
