Hey there, I've been trying to find information on this but to no avail. I have a strange coolant leak coming from what looks like an empty socket/hole for something (I will attach photos) it's directly underneath the pressure cap and it seems to be letting air into the system which will then cause a cup or two of coolant to spew onto the ground after driving (out of the overflow reservoir I assume) I have replaced the inlet manifold gasket a few months back as I'm aware that they go often, I also got a new thermostat and tridon pressure cap so i'm fairly sure they aren't the culprits. The place it is leaking is where I've put red RTV silicone, I thought it was seeping through the edges but i think it's coming out from inside the hole, it looks clean in the photo because its been washed, I want to know if I can completely plug up this hole with silicone to stop it leaking out of there, or is that a bad idea? Thank you everyone.
