When you say bleeder, are you referring to an air bleed when filling the system or a drain plug to empty the system?

I'm not aware that there is an air bleeder on the cooling system (wish there was) but I do know that it is somewhat difficult to get the system to "burp". Done it twice and had difficulties both times. Do a search to find the procedure I used to finally get the system burped.
