Message	I have a coolant leak at the engine coolant outlet pipe that goes to the radiator. Somewhere around the two short hoses. Its very slow and more like steam as oppose to squirting. I did a pressure test and pumped the system up to 21.5psi. After an hour it lost 1.5 psi. So the system is basically fine. The car doesn't over heat and the loss of coolant over the past 2-3 months has only ben about a 1/2 quart. I'm thinking radiator cap is the issue. What about you guys?
