I noticed that my tank leaks a little where the 2 hex nuts hold the clear indicator tube. When I first noticed it, I tightened the nuts as much as I could, but it still leaks a little. Also by the stain marks, you can see it also tends to overflow from the top tube as well.

I installed the coolant tank along with a new OEM thermostat and water pump. Also at the same time I changed to a koyo radiator with a full coolant change (drained from the block) with a bottle of water wetter.

I've been running this new setup since last March. I haven't had to top of the coolant yet, but I'll probably have to in a few months.

Here's a pic of what I'm talking about. Click it to enlarge.
