So coolant will come out the bleeder (bubbling at first if air but then not)...but coolant will not come out the open lid?

How long should it run before you open lid and bleeder and see all this action?
you should see coolant bubbling from the bleeder if there is air in the system. You should not get coolant coming out of the expansion tank other than a little spray possibly as the secondary pumps coolant back into the top of the tank near the top. It can splash out sometimes. You can pop the cap and open the bleeder right after you turn the car on and crank the heat full hot (90 degrees). Putting on the heat full opens the valves to the heater cores and allows any air in there to escape also.
