I'm not sure what dexcool crust is but will take a look when the rain
stops. Not sure how to do a block test ether. not having any
misfiring that is noticeable. I did change the radiator cap today to
a 16 lb. cap. that is what is called for in the manual. It had a 14
lb. cap and it was weak. I did mix the anti freeze with out realizing
it. I have red (five year) and put in about a quart of the green,
(three year). they should not be mixed, could that have anything to do
with it loosing water?
