Hi all,

I have a coolant leak between the return line and the coolant tank. I’ve
checked the hose, retighten the clip on the hose, changed the cap.
Nothing changed. The only way I found to avoid the leak is to loose the
cap a bit so the pressure can be release by the cap. It seems like, even
with the new cap, the pressure can’t be released and find his way
between the return line and the tank.

I was ready to replace the clip on the return line when I thought may be
all I’ll do is force the pressure to find another way which may be more
damageable. Any idea where this high pressure come from. Note that I’m
one of these “third thick mark” guy, so I doubt it’s overheating.

By the way, I didn’t know the difference between the G12 and G11 and
used the red stuff for my last coolant change, complete flush. Should I
flush again and go back to the blue stuff or can I keep the red one as
it was a complete flush.

Thanks for your help



Vincent.
