Hey guys. i want to do a pressure test on my radiator. I have a leak somewhere and its causing the water to boil. even though the temperature gauge didnt get above half. water was dripping out of somewhere below the intake manifold. Does anyone have a pressure tester kit i could use for ten minutes????

I am going to check that this weekend.
Though the water was leaking from somewhere under the intake manifold. It was weird because when I drove it to the exhaust shop it was fine. I drove the same distance home and it was leaking water. The temperature gauge never went past half . Though if there is a leak obviously it will boil at a lower temp because there is no pressure. Car is off the road till I do some other stuff to it so I'm in no rush

hey robbie i had a similar problem (i think) it was a while ago with a mystery leak over intake side.
you need to check this hose:
its an absolute (insert every swear word under the sun) to get out probably easy with the engine out but i wasn't going that far. its a semi common problem actually. here's a thread about it actually.

i knew you would say that hose. I have a feeling it was that one. Ill put it check it out since the car is now off the road again while i get new coils

Yer i thought i could just buy one. but after seeing the price i wont be buying one. Surely someone has one. I have other issues now . So i must sort them out first before i can even start the car again.
