Engine problem
1997 Buick Lesabre 6 cyl Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 100000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have a 1997 Buick LeSabre which leaks coolant and air from the intake manifold.
I replaced the original 17psi radiator cap with a 13psi cap which has a relief lever which I keep up (open).
Now, I am experiencing loss of coolant from the radiator into the reservoir.
I've learned that the cap must be tight in order to retain coolant in the radiator. However, I expect once again to lose coolant from the intake if I do so.
With a 350 mile journey ahead of me this week, what should I do about the radiator cap?
