I’ve been using pastel coolant in my loop for nearly 8 years. Over the past year, I noticed the water level in the reservoir slowly getting pushed down as pressure built up. This caused water to leak out from the bottom of the case. By the looks of it, it loosened an o ring at my drain port on the bottom radiator. No idea if the radiator itself sprung a leak.
Currently, I’ve done a ton of flushes, and ran EK’s loop cleaner through once for a few hours. I got a ton of dye out of the system, and the distilled water now runs clear. Not even a slight hue. But, I still see little bubbles forming on the sides of the tube res above the water level. I still have not been able to identify the source of the leak, nor confirm if I fixed it. Going to run this loop for a few days while waiting on additional cleaner.
I’m going to run another serving of the loop cleaner through for 24 hours, use their flush twice, and then wash everything out with distilled. The EK cleaning solution is more effective than Mayhems.
Anyone know if the little bubbles on the top sides are a sign of still having pressure build up?
