Thanks Ivan for the great post (as usual )

So if my system looses pressure due to a hair-line crack in the radiator, will that cause the car to overheat since coolant is not being pressurized enough....???

The reason for the question is that today i saw a trace of white residue from the lower radiator hose (coming from where it attaches to the radiator)...it is not leaking even with the car on and the system pressurized, but could it be that at a certain point when pressure is really high it leaks a bit? will this explain the symptoms? i am talking about a very small leak here....

I appreciate the responses....
