it takes around 10 ounces or so of coolant loss before the buzzer will go off. my water pump gasket is leaking and i have to top if off every other day. my method is before i leave for work, pop off the top fill cap, loosen the bleeder screw and let the air out, fill it up with water, keep bleeding until water comes out, top it off one more time and put the cap back on. i'm set for another two days.



am i the only one that finds it funny that i've been a member for almost two years now and this is my first post?

the overflow tank was empty earlier wheni was burping, but i filled it up but it didnt seem to suck in any of it.



i'll have to get ahold of a pressure tester.

i think theres a slight slight slight very slight leak at the bleeder screw on the rad, as the head stripped off and i never got it out. but theres a drop or two of coolant sitting in the recess. plastic pos screw.
