What is your question?
car again and coolant does not get drawn back into cooling system from expansion tank and i can hear air escaping near expansion tank,altho i can't see a leak in the exp.tank hose (going to the radiator).this causes radiator to be 1qt.or more low on coolant when car is started the next time unless i top off coolant in radiator before i start the car.i have replaced coolant and cap but still have problem.help greatly appreciated

Leave it like that and drive it to see if engine temp starts to go up! If it runs normal temp well,...... drive on!
every time i drive before i start the car i must top off coolant in radiator.if i don't car will run hot for a minute then temp gauge goes back to norm range, however because of radiator coolant loss (when car is turned off) it back flushes into exp. tank ,but doesn't take coolant BACK to the radiator when engine is started again. when the car is shut off, it dumps into exp.tank overflowing the exp. tank. then if i go somewhere, i have to top off the radiator or engine will run hot because radiator is only partly full.if i drive with car like this i will also lose cabin heat.
Have the radiator checked for a leak at the top tank where it seals to the core, if it has 'any' leakage there the coolant will not be pulled back into the rad. Pressure test needed.
i changed the radiator cap 1st thing but no effect
