I purchased a Coolant Recovery Bottle on Ebay which is the perfect size to sit next to the rad without looking out of place.It works fine as far as coolant out and it draws coolant back in as it cools but not as much as it should.Seems to me that when I added a bottle years ago the kit came with an extra seal to be used on the existing Rad Cap.I don't even see listings on Ebay for Caps for vehicles with coolant recovery containers.Thats probably what I need to change or ad a seal to the existing Rad Cap.Anyone else added a overflow bottle and what did you do with the existing Rad Cap if anything?
