Default Pressure testing radiator
Hello Folks,
I have a leak in my cooling system and have rented a test pump to help find it. How much pressure can I put on the system to test it?

you can't see where it's leaking?? I'd just pump like 5 lbs in and listen... then 10 and listen you'll prolly find it with that... I'm not sure though, if your system's corroded it may blow a hole
