bleeding a loop questions.

hi,

I've just put watercooling in my pc and it seems to be taking a long time to bleed, I had it running last night for about an hour and although its better, there are quite a few bubbles and gurgling noises. I have a reservoir at the top of my case and inside is very turbulent and it seems like lots of the bobbles are getting re-circulated rather than coming out of the air hole. the resevoir is full to the brim. is it just a case of leaving it on longer?
I have a ddc pump with petras top, 1/2" tube. pa160 rad mounted at the front o a lian-li pc7 and a resevoir in the 2nd to top 5 1/4" bay. res>pump>cpu>rad is the order.
when I first filled it I overtightened a jubilee clip and it leaked when switched off. I slackened it off and now there are no water leaks when running , could air be getting in?

all seems fine with temps as they are down 15-20 degrees.
I can't take pics etc at the mo because I'm writing this at work on my phone, I'm just trying to get ideas for tonight when I get home.

thanks for thoughe replies. good ideas for me to try later. my resevoir is full but the cap is off, would I be better stillto take some liquid out?
the pump is off a molex so I could slow it down I think but I'd rather not mess with the wiring
thanks again for the ideas, keep them coming

its a repack res I believe, fits in 1 bay

thanks guys. my pipes are long enough to bring it outside, ill have a go tonight, bleeding with the pump off seems a good idea.
I thought the repack looked a bit shallow, oh well all part of the learning process.
