How do you bleed air out of a 1995 Intrepid 3.3 liter engine coolant system?

To bleed the coolant in a 1995 Dodge intrepid locate the drain plug on the underside of the radiator, un plug it and pour new coolant in the system. Close the plug and while the engine is running find the coolant pressure valve and loosen it to relieve pressure. When bubbles stop forming there is no longer air in the system.

It's possible that you still have air in the cooling system..let engine cool down completely and see if the coolant gets symphned back to the coolant recovery bottle. If so re-fill bottle and open coolant air-bleed valve on top of thermostat start engine top off bottle...

Why coolant leaks when engine is off but heat wont work when engine running?

The heat is not working because you are very low on coolant, probably because of the leak. Seems to me that it should leak worse when it is running, so I am going to assume you are talking about the coolant overflowing the reservoir, in which case goes back to you being low on coolant and the engine boiling the coolant.
