Since then, the level has very slowly started to decline again, so I don't know if there's a small leak somewhere, or my cap is faulty, because I don't see any fluid on my garage floor, nothing in and around the engine, etc. I already know I will be going back in again, and I kept the service bulletin in my back pocket so that if necessary, I can leverage that to push for a replacement. |

I had to top my coolant off a couple time since delivery so I complained about a possible leak. They tested fine of course, but today I noticed a huge mess because they overfilled the coolant while testing. I'm really annoyed that they don't know better than to not overfill. Makes me wonder about my oil change too.
I sucked the excess out (1 cup over so far) while it was still warm. In the morning when it's cool, I'll get it down below the max line. There was a mess under the hood and cap which I cleaned up and flushed a little water onto the injectors below. Note that a cap leak is obvious because when you unscrew it there is a ton a white stuff like in the photos at the start of this thread. However, when it leaks all over the top the tank as a result it looks like the tank is leaking at the seam (the water seems to collect on the edge). I think when the tank fails it also leaks at the seam. So it can be hard to tell my looking if it is a cap leak or seam leak. If you clean everything up and there is white on the tank but the cap is clean after a while then you have a tank leak. This is ridiculous: |

Do we know if the tank has been modified and if yes from what VIN?
