"bubble in cooling system" ?

I fixed an oil leak about a month ago and haven't been able to drive it since. Last week I was able to make a run to the gas station but that was it. At a light, I noticed the temps got up to 237 and I was getting nervous. Well I confirmed last night on a longer trip as it hit 251 (F) degrees as I was stopped/moving slowly. Luckily it was a block from my house and I was able to turn it off and coast.

I put water back in the system, but its probably 25% red coolant and 75% water because I didnt "flush" the system.

How can I check and/or remove air bubble in the system that may be preventing the pump from pushing the water/coolant through?
