western Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 probably overfilled the reservior, should be between the 2 raised lines on the cap dipstick when fluid is cold. or you have a air leak into the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 sounds like time for a full bleed & fluid fill to the correct level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
