Missing anti freeze?

BTW...I am only guessing the leak is into the intake because he has already said there are no leaks from any hoses, the radiator, or any where around the intake manifold. That doesn't leave too many options, unless it is dexcool.

Don't forget to check the passenger floorboard for wetness. It's possible that you heater core may be leaking as well.

The liquid is going to displace the air in the system.

This is not a hard thing to wrap the brain around.

I too had this same problem and the cap solved it and I had to add coolant to the system.

That makes no sense at all if he is getting air into the cooling system. The system is designed to not have air in it, liquid only. If air is sucked in then the air is displacing the coolant, air comes in causing coolant to stay in the overflow tank. I can understand adding fluid if you go from a bad cap to a good one because your engine will be able to suck up coolant from the overflow instead of air from the atmosphere, requiring more coolant. As said before, if air is in the system it will take up space normally filled with coolant.

[BlazerLT]

Yes, and after a while, it won't require refilling anymore when all the air is out.

[vtmecheng]

So it seems we are in violent agreement.

Yip.....

Now shut up.....
