No actually a very good question. I have the 2013 which uses the H.O.A.T it is a purple 100k anti freeze yes I did use it in my 13. I know that before 2012 they used the O.A.T Which is orange. I appreciate the response.

Yes that was my first thought since the leak appeared to spray all over the passenger side fender well. It is on good condition and is secure around the fitting . Also the 3.6 is what I have and it too connects to the passenger side upper corner of the radiator.

Did you leave the cap off when you burped it? There's a funnel trick that's full proof. Look at youtube there's a few of them.

Actually 2013's use OAT.....

I found the best way to fill engines with coolant is through the thermostat housing. After my new rad on the 3.8 I filled through thermostat housing until I got coolant at the upper rad hose, hook everything up, top up rad, run with cap off, squeeze line to burp air, when it won't take anymore coolant, close cap, top up overflow, test drive, let it cool, check rad and overflow/top up as required.

Through the thermostat is the best way to fill if applicable. With a burping funnel there's no driving around and rechecking its idiot proof and very convenient. With that said I did mine the exact same way you did on my soon to go 3.8.

07-12 used HOAT (Orange) and 13+ uses OAT (Purple). There have been reports of early 2013 models having HOAT(Orange) coolant so it is important for that year to actually extract some coolant and have a close look. If you have mixed these two coolants you can cause damage to the system and cause it to plug up. The Fiat OAT is Orange, but Chrysler adds a purple dye causing it to appear orange at certain angles.

Is there a way I can pressure test it at home? I
My mistake I am using oat not hoat I know my coolant is purple.

Is it leaking or do you have coolant diss appearing? Really the only reason for a pressure test it to find leaks. You can rent them at a parts store.
