I checked my tank and was still at the same level it was last checked few days ago so the level is still the same so very strange as was not overefilled recently New radiator and thermostat has been done around a year ago Im a Bit stuck atm so can only do a aeroflow cap change as a cheap test Any help would be great or any ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the best course of action for testing it out is to replace the seal etc for the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
