OK now I'm in a bizarre cyclical thing with the coolant temp several days it'll run nicely cool, just below the LED then it'll start creeping up - left light, mid light for a while it ran at the right edge of the LED on instinct I did nothing about it except make sure everything was topped up sure enough several days later started running cooler then about a week in the normal place again then back on up... I don't think there's air in there seems more like a clot of some kind, a sporadic restriction of coolant flow I have an image of this plug of oil moving slowly through one of the cooling tubes like and aneyurism and when it reaches the engine my van is going to explode, antifreeze, sheetmetal everywhere, the tiny little black expansion cap soaring, soaring heavenward or maybe this thing is following the phases of the moon it's about on that timeframe, this up and down thing maybe I should check the almanac any other suggestions?
