fairly new coolant tank leaking at seam: go away after bleeding / pressure or replace?
I replaced my tank about 4 months ago, and then last weekend did the aux water pump. Apparently I did not get all of the air out of the system after replacing the pump last weekend, because today I notice that coolant was leaking out all around the seam of the coolant tank. Tonight I bleeded it to get the rest of the pressure out. Will the leak stop now that the pressure is gone, or should I go ahead and order a new tank now? Stated differently, is the coolant system always under pressure leading to a leak at that seam, or is the coolant system not under pressure so the tank should seal itself back up. I can keep the coolant level slightly below the seam, between the min and max mark.
Thanks.
Thanks.
