Should i check when its hot or cold or both? i'd assume both?

 

you check the reservoir when it is cold, that is where it will be the lowest.

 

OK, I'll make sure i check it when ever i can. and the next time it over heats I'll try checking things than. that is if it does over heat which i assume it will =/

 

if you keep the reservoir topped off my bet is that it wont you still need to find the leak, but at least you wont hurt anything in the meantime

 

My god is this thread STILL going?

 

+1 hydra. lol I'm most likely gonna take it to a shop for diagnostics if i cant find any leak or problems.

I'll get back to you guys if i find something interesting. Until than lets agree with hydra and give this thread a little rest lol

 

Please!

 

Real quick thought. Go to autozone and do the loan a tool on a cooling system pressure tester. See if it will hold pressure. It will also allow you to check for leaks with the system and the motor cool. If all else fails buy the dye kit and a black light.

 

The pressure tester you're talking about is it where you use the testers cap to replace the radiator cap and than as the engine warms see how the pressure acts?

I've done this test. I pumped the tester up to 20 psi roughly and once it got up to temp it slowly built pressure in the cooling system as i was told it should? So the pressure test on the cooling system came out normal.

I did this test when i did the hydrocarbon test. about a month ago maybe?
