None what so ever, but I pull over as soon as the overheat light blinks.

Hmmm. And, no sign of wetness under the hood? Any sign of moisture or smell of coolant from the A/C vents?

Also, remove the oil filler cap and see if there is any foaminess on the bottom of it.

There's no smell of coolant inside the car or from the vents. It's hard to say about wetness under the hood cause I'm not the most accurate coolant pourer. Haha so I've spilled a bit. I'll check for foaminess tonight. I was thinking about renting a pressure tester tomorrow and giving that a shot what do you think? Thanks for all your help man.

Pressure tester might not be a bad idea. Also, I have noticed that if you disconnect the radiator with hoses that are a few years old and reuse the hoses, that they often don't reseal well unless you replace the stock hose clamps and tighten the heck out of them.

OK so pressure test was fine it stayed the same pressure for 10 minutes. We ran it for a good while and after an hour or so coolant started coming out the reserve again, but the filler neck and radiator cap are both brand new.

Coolant will go into the reserve tank as it gets hot and expands. Is it overflowing the reserve tank?

Yes, its over flowing the reserve tank. That's the only place I can think I'm losing the coolant. When I seen it, it was only a little bit, but it has to be going somewhere ya know.
