Your lucky...my leaky softplug was between the tranny and engine...I used the stopleak in the small tube to fix it for three years until I got the transmission rebuilt and got them fixed right but mine was a small leak..

i would not chance getting burn if water was to suddenly rush out when you are trying to relieve the pressure.

When I have to drive my truck somewhere to burp the cooling system.... I just keep the radiator cap in my pocket, until I am done. (yes, I drive without a cap.....)

Good Job.
