amazing video -- I have not been able to find anyone to explain how the reservoir gets filled or sucked -- you showed it's between the little space of the radiator cap AND you showed that there's a STRAW that goes to the BOTTOM of the reservoir and sucks it back in -- I was so confused how it can suck it up from the top when there's air in between -- AND you explained that the extra nozzle is for excess -- AMAZING -- thank you so much

I disagree with need for double seal because the purpose of larger seal is ONLY to direct discharge water into the expansion tank. Expansion tank is OPEN to atmosphere, so there will be only slight pressure in the small rubber hose from radiator to OVERFLOW tank. You do need the single seal to overcome vacuum when radiator cools and pulls coolant from overflow tank back to radiator.

Wow that was awesome.. Thanks I’ve been noticing my reservoir is low every 2/3 months I just top it off.. a few days ago when I got home I got out of the car and I could smell coolant, looked under my car and there is drips like it’s sprayed all over half the bottom of the engine. My question to you my friend, is that a symptom of a radiator cap? It’s a 09 Subaru legacy with the original radiator cap.

I did not drive again until yesterday and Red light appeared Radiator took over 2 litres of water. Got the Road Side Assistant out he said he does not think its the head casket as the car starts with no problem, he could not see any leaks under neath the motor / on the ground. How do I put the Coolant in the Radiator, if there is still some water inside and do I have to mix the coolant. I have a 4 litre of Distilled water. Please help no $$$ I'm a 74 year old Pensioner.

Dinala ko na sa mekaniko pero Wala naman nakita leaks at chineck din sa ilalim at sa mga hose pero wala din. Kakapalit ko lang ng radcap yung before ay mejo loose pero same issue.
