> Radiator pressure testing tools are very sensitive to small air leaks, which will not cause cooling system problems. A pressure cap
that does not have a history of coolant loss should not be replaced just because it leaks slowly when tested with this tool. Add water to tool. Turn tool upside down and recheck pressure cap to confirm
that cap needs replacement.<symbol
