Check for air in the system again.

I had a pinhole leak that only leaked when I ripped on it, it would get air next to the thermostat thermostat and overheat. If I played with bleeding the air out or move it by running the heater etc. it would work perfect for a while. Took me until the leak got bigger to where it left a tiny spot on the pavement even when you weren't high rpm to find it. It was on one of the rubber hoses on the back of the block.
