Re: Radiator problem
so........if there is a hole at the top of the radiator, such that loss
(lose, loose, etc) of a cup of fluid would bring the level below said hole & therefore would leak no more................I think that I agree with a previous post about the loss (lose, loose, etc) of pressure. IMHO this might be important enough to not be ignored. -- Carlo F.
