Don't be a cheapskate, take it to a shop with the proper equipment. Any pressure loss is no good, there is a leak somewhere. The shop will check for engine combustion gases contaminating the coolant.

He can do that test himself as well..... And the pressure bleeddown might just be the seal from the tester to the radiator......
