IF THERE IS A HOLE, IT WILL KEEP LEAKING. IT WILL NOT LEAK A CUP AND STOP.

If there is a hole, then the pressure issues you speak of will continue to
be present, and the leak will not stop. And, if the leak does stop after a
single cup out of - how many? - 12 quarts, who cares? Move on.

No offense CRWLR, but you missed the point. Our posts were in regards to
misuse of the words lose and loose.

Ahh, I see. That first cup magically transports itself out of
your radiator, much like the missing socks in your sock drawer.
