are there any leaks anywhere in the system? Is it a 4.6L or a 3.8L? More info please.

make sure there are no other leaks. check the hoses from the radiator and the water pump. might be a good idea to backflush the entire cooling system and replace the thermostat if you recently purchased the tbird. if its a 6 cylinder 3.8L, make sure you dont have any blown head gasket symptoms.
