How long should it take the pressure to build up at idle under normal operating circumstances?


Also I put coolant into the system a few weeks ago and the light wouldn't come on. Low and behold a few days ago it started flicking on again under acceleration. Now there is a possibility that my SECOND new radiator is actually leaking as there is a cream colored residue along its top edges. I'm probably going to have that one returned again in the near future.
