I suspect that my coolant reservoir cap is bad as my overflow tank (Bentley calls it a "refill tank" pg. 19.13) is always dry, even when the engine is warm/hot. Do you guys actually SEE the level of coolant going up and down in the overflow (secondary) tank as the engine heats up?? Thanks, Malcolm

I do... and if I refill my expansion tank to the maximum when Fritz is cold, it overflows after I shut down the motor due to the subsequent expansion. Nice color. But even after the overflow, I still can see at least a skim in the bottom of the expansion tank when the motor's cold.
