A simple test.
Fill a compressor with 16-17 PSI and set the cooling system under pressure.
Just blow from the overflow side into the system with the cap on. You can see
how all the hoses, radiator and things expand under that pressure.
Then check all the hoses and the pump for leaks....
BUT be careful not to go to high with the pressure...18 should be the absolute
max....
