Humble radiator cap.
I recently posted my experience in relation to a professional radiator rod/flush alsp a post with a leaking fuel cooler.
After nipping up all the clamps I found that I was losing coolant from the coolant reservoir.
Initial thoughts were pressurising and head gasket and $$$$$$$
I remember reading another post about the humble radiator cap and where replacement of reservoir (=radiator )cap and the problems was solved.
So $28 later and the problems seems to have been solved.
Now I’m not suggesting that the radiator/reservoir cap is the solution to all coolant loss. However if in doubt it’s certainly worth replacing the cap as a first step and see if that stops the coolant loss?
