Good sugestions- We had it pumped up to 14 or 15 lbs because
that is the rated cooling system pressure I think. i didn't have
the valve cover off- i should have. It was pumped up for a couple
of hours, and it didn't lose pressure. It will suck the coolant out
of the overflow tank and then the radiator level proceeds to go
down. My reasoning on this is that if there is a haed gasket leak
or a pinhole, the compression pressure would push the
antifreeze out, not let it in. Is this accurate? As far as seeing
bubbles in the radiator, it's pretty hard to see in the rad due to
location under hood. But again, if it was doing that, would it
suck the resevoir dry? No oil shows up in the coolant. Would that
rule out the oil cooler? Again, oil pressure is greater than coolant
pressure.
