I think I may have got to part of the reason for my coolant loss, On the
coolant bottle I removed the pressure cap top clean ( just to make me feel
better :-) ) and noticed on the top it is marked as 22 psi. From peoples
replies the system should be pressure tested to 15 psi. I would guess that
with this cap not releasing the pressure correctly in is forcing the coolant
out through a rubber joining pipe.

What do you think
