A word about your coolant reservoir - you have two, one hidden the fender well is actually the overflow tank, it should never be under any pressure. The one with the 'radiator cap' on it is pressurized an equal amount whenever the cooling system in pressurized.


Do you see any oil in the coolant or any signs of coolant in the oil? ('milk chocolate' on the dip stick or oil cap)
