Message	I read that your over flow tank was leaking. Welcome to the issue i just fixed. My OEM gauge wouldnt move but my Defi water temp would go to 210-230F, hang there for 5-10 seconds, and fall sharply back to "normal temps." I now have no coolant leaks, and no fluctuating water temp. GotCarolina Z?
