water from the garden hose is NOT smart unless you have extremely clean water. The minerals in the water will A) eat the interior of the radiator, or B) leave sediments that clog it up.

Distilled water is the only thing you should be putting in there.

Thanks i dont want to flush the system just yet it looks like the overflow container is leaking so i need to find where i looked on ebay for one but no luck and the juck yard's seem to have nothing but older car's and truck's and the overflow is just below min so i dont really need that much distilled water.
