Curt has already brought up that foreign objects blocking coolant passages or
maybe the water pump or thermostat can cause similar symptoms in a different
car makers engine. Thermostat housing eroded? Water pump housing?

I just got the car inspected at my Indy mechanic. He knows these cars like the
back of his hand and noticed that the coolant wasn't circulating thru radiator-
something I've been noticing but couldn't figure out as radiator flows freely
and water pump is good as is tstat. He seems very doubtful

Maybe, maybe not. The cap is supposed to keep it slightly pressurized, but if
you've got a known leak, then perhaps you also have a cracked head or leaking

On a separate note, it was old this am- like 3 degrees. I went to add some

The heat stops working because you have no flow through the heater
core, hence I suspect you have a intermittent coolant flow problem.
Once the coolant starts to boil in the head, it won't pump properly.
