Good afternoon all
I thought I had my coolant leak narrowed down to the heater core which I shut the valves off for the coolant going to it. But after taking my kids for a drive yesterday I notice I have coolant Drippin off the bottom corner of the radiator by the petcock valve not sure if that’s where it’s actually leaking from. I am waiting to install a block heater in the freeze plug of the engine but I need to figure out my coolant leak first. I was wondering since I cannot find in a thread if anybody has used a coolant pressure tester if they have the right size cap to screw onto the surge tank. Also wondering since there is a breather tube on the filler neck if that is going to affect trying to pump air into the system or if there is a different way to try and pressure test the system to find my leak more efficiently.
Any photos or videos would be much appreciated thank you
