If it's a small leak, loosen the radiator cap so the system never

That's a very good idea. I used to know that but I forgot. .


Until the temperature gets up and it start to spew out from under the cap.
It may lose more from the cap than from the present leak.




You just loosen the cap to the first notch (1/4 turn?) to take the
pressure off the spring. The "spew" goes into the overflow tank.
