[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 134107, member: 24693"] I had a couple minutes to run out and pressure test the cooling system. Almost couldn't get my tester in there as the radiator neck is tight access. Luckily I didn't have to use an adaptor or I would have been screwed. [ATTACH]6284[/ATTACH] I pumped it up to 7 PSI. It was in the middle of the A of the word CAP there and in just the time it took to get my phone out and snap a pic you can see it's already sagging. [ATTACH]6285[/ATTACH] After just 2 minutes it was down to 3 PSI [ATTACH]6286[/ATTACH] So clearly I have a leak somewhere which is why it can't build pressure to push by the cap and use the reservoir and why it's loosing fluid. This bypass looking hose over by the water pump looks suspect (old and junk) but no signs of fluid around it. I'm going to dig in here soon and start investigating and see if I can isolate the leak. [ATTACH]6287[/ATTACH] I'll report back what I find. [/QUOTE]
