I thought things were screwy. Apparently my car is special because it is indeed defying laws of physics. I always check catch can before i go out for a ride and it is always at the same spot (3/4 full at the "full" line) and then when i get home i double check it after the temp gauge gets to read real high and the catch can is ALWAYS down half way. I let the car cool off and check my overflow tank and its back to the "full" line exactly. What in the world could cause this? One thought is my coolant hose running from my thermostat housing to the upper radiator outlet is too long and is actualy arching up because of it. The arch is physically at a higher location then the radiator cap. My radiator is slanted back at an angle, is it possible the top of the radiator is sitting lower then my intake and therefore leaving the system sitting empty?
