Does the air in the system show up after the driving, or after the sitting and cooling down? The former would tend to indicate comustion gas leakage into the cooling system during operation, and the latter would tend to indicate pulling in air from outside through a leak. -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger" |
