Hi,the fans should not run from start up,unless you are using the AC.It would be worthwhile checking the pump drive belt/thermostat/radiator flow and at least bleed the cooling system.
If you vehicle is a Diesel I would also get a sniffer test done .
PS if it is over pressurizing the usually spew coolant from the header tank worthwhile checking the header tank cap.

What was the resolution to your previous coolant loss episode in 2014? Was it resolved by new water pump that was recently changed?

What is the level like in the header tank and have you tried bleeding the system yet?
