Thanks! I'll look into that as well!

Also, the front drivers side screw holding the upper shroud plastic in place is the shortest of the screws used in shroud, because if you use the wrong longer screw it will puncture the plastic radiator tank right below it.

Make sure you didn't put a longer screw in that position or you will be needing a new radiator.

Other than that, Great Work!!

I would still check the level in the bleed hole again tomorrow for peace of mind.

That's an excellent point. No, not all Peak Coolant. There are many Peak types, more than I was aware of anyway, so it's extra important to make sure what's been added is compatible.

And of course Peak confuses the issue by calling their OAT coolant OET...


Great news, and nice job finding the leak. A fan clutch can overheat and get damaged being held like that for extended periods so make sure it doesn't spin easily once you clear the obstructions.
