Will do jod

I have a plan!!! Now bare with me on this...LOL>>>>>>

I plan to plug up the drain hole at the bottom of the IC and spin top metal 'S' hose from the turbo through 90 degs which will allow me to fill the system up to the top of the IC and test for leaks.

The reason for this is that I think my IC may be leaking as it's loose and may have rubbed trough at some point causing a leak, also this will check my bottom hose and intermediate hose too. It wont check out my top IC hose or throttle hose but these are new anyway.

I will of course drain it fully and vent overnight before starting her up after the leak check.

Has anyone got any other points I may have missed which this method??
