The leak
I was able to find the leak, after pressure testing it a few different times, at different temperatures (the coolant)
and found this
the rad was leaking, but it was so hard to find because the coolant would rarly make it to the ground...
It was leaking out of the rad onto the AC condenser, onto the under tray, then the ground, most times just ending up on the condenser or the tray....
So the new Koyo, hoses, and clamps are going on in 2 weeks times...(providing they all get delivered in time)
I would rather do the whole thing once, then cheap out and just band aid the problem... for my car right now this will be over kill... by a large margin, but why spend money twice. get the right parts the first times, and enjoy them now and later..
so, providing that it all goes smoothly (I know most people have fitment issues with the Koyo's) It will be running nice a smooth again with an overkill (for the moment) cooling system
