I tried the search feature on this forum but it brings back everything but what I'm looking for so here's my problem...... I have owned my L555 for about 5 yrs now. It always spits antifreeze out tills it's level with the tubes then doesn't leak any more and runs fine. I never run it all day maybe just a couple hrs at a time. So, I was going over the machine and found that the upper radiator hose had a soft spot. When I took it off I was surprised to find that someone has removed the thermostat. New thermostat and hose are on their way. Do you guys have any experience or insight to what might be going on? Why it spits to that same level every time? Why would they have pulled the t-stat? Thanks!
