Be patient, maybe park on an incline....
yup, I have to burp my system every couple months. it's a PITA but I fear I have a leak in a $$$ spot.

try this... it's cheap & easy:

1) park on an incline, nose uphill.
2) turn your car on.
3) crank your defrost all the way up (not sure why, but i read it somewhere & i just do it).
4) unscrew radiator cap & the little bleeder screw (take it out).
5) fill radiator overflow, let it circulate through. you'll see bubbles come out the bleeder. it will spill out, but it's no big deal.
6) repeat #5 until you don't see any more bubbles.
7) rinse off your driveway.
