Gas Station Employee: I'm picking up your sarcasm.
Richard Hayden: Well, I should hope so, because I'm laying it on pretty thick.
Heheh! Sorry, its been too long since the last Tommy Boy
reference. ;-) Yep, just sarcasm, Tom! :-)
Steve, I don't know if this will help or not, but just the other day I
saw that Autozone has a dye test; you basically add some dye to the system
you are checking for leaks (which would be the radiator or overflow bottle
in this case), leave it in there for a bit, and then you put on these funky
glasses and check the engine over with the provided UV light. I didn't
notice how much it was, but something like that might help to pinpoint the
source of the leak, when the old fashioned eyeball method doesn't work.
