All worth checking before you suspect hgf problems.

Yes I am checking the level when cold and only fill it to the max level at the bottom of the tank. Over the years I have had six new caps and a new header tank. Still looses coolant. Also before I did the pressure test coolant was sitting on the max level but afterwards it was not even on the minimum. Took a good cup full to bring it up to the low level.
