    Whenever I check one of my cars (mine, wife, kids, dads etc) and the coolant is low I throw a pressure checker on it. Pump it up the the pressure stated on the cap and let it sit a couple of hours. If it is the same, I dont worry. If it drops, time to start digging. Pressure checkers are under...
