Another vote for jacking the front of the car up. Also, do NOT open the bleeder valve with the engine running. It took me a while to get the hang of the bleed process when I flushed my coolant earlier this year.

When you pressurized the system, how long before the pressure dropped?

We tested it with the radiator cap off. So its not the cap. It was losing 1psi every 15min

Any luck bleeding the system? Hopefully you didn't pop a headgasket now that you're losing pressure..
