Driving with Radiator Cap Loose
Do you see something strange in this picture?
I bet you do. Yeap, I have been spilling coolant like a sprinkler for several miles during the last week. See the radiator cap partially loose. The thing is that while changing the oil 8 days ago I accidentally unscrewed the cap one step. Today I open the hood to check the oil and found the view you can enjoy above. However, after letting the car cool down completely the coolant level shows about 3/4" higher than the Full line, where it has previously been. So, IMHO I could present 2 hypotheses to explain the raise of the liquid: 1) Air went inside the system or 2) the thermostat has sent too much coolant to the raidator, what do you think?
