My 2005 Vibe was overheating due to leak. I put in some stop leak and it worked ok for a couple months then started overheating again. Since it seemed to be leaking again, I decided to replace radiator, water pump and thermostat. Now car runs mostly ok, but if I go up a long hill and stress the engine hard, the heat gauge will creep up. It I stop at a light and idle the car it will cool down pretty quickly to normal range. There is no oil getting into coolant or coolant into oil. Not sure what is going on here. Please help!
