I have been getting the 82 interstate ready for the spring. I changed the coolant and the cap. Now I have the strangest problem. When warming up the engine it leaks a cup or so of coolant. After it warms up it stops? I searched the forum and someone said the small tube that connects to the neck of the radiator could be faulty. I removed the end that connects to the overflow bottle and blew into it. I could hear air escaping thru the cap - is that normal? The rubber seals on the cap appear -both the part that sits deep onto the recessed part of the neck and the rubber that sits on the top of the neck.
I am afraid of putting everything back together until I get this resolved. HELP - the weather is perfect for a ride.
