[QUOTE="01silverstang, post: 16585177, member: 21743"] So I rented the coolant system pressure test kit from Autozone. I have not topped off the coolant in the expansion tank, and have not installed the serpentine belt or ran the vehicle since I parked it in the garage. I pressurized the system to 15 psi and ten minutes later I dropped about 1 to 1.5 psi. I tightened the tester cap again and pressurized it again to 15 psi and dropped about the same over 15 minutes. Not sure what to make of this... as the radiator is a little banged up and I have swapped any hoses or clamps. I saw no leaks under the vehicle. So on one hand the vehicle did shred a belt and therefore didn’t have water pump with the previous owner. On the other hand it seems like there could be easily be a small leak any a number of places in the coolant system? Thoughts? I know I can buy a head gasket leak tester at Harbor Freight which I may do tomorrow? Would you have concerns over the head gasket based on this or am I freaking myself out? [/QUOTE]
