Supercharger + coolant recovery bottle = leaking?
Hi all!
I have a RIPP supercharged JKU (2013). I don't know if it is because of the SC, but the Antifreeze/coolant recovery bottle seems to be constantly ejecting coolant out from under the cap. It is not a large amount as there is still enough coolant in the bottle, but it is enough that I am constantly cleaning it up!! For reference, I have attached a picture of the bottle after I cleaned it (should have left it dirty, actually). Could the additional heat created by the SC cause this? Or do I have a faulty cap? It does not seem normal at all! BTW, I have not had any overheating issues, and have done enough serious off roading and high RPM driving that if the coolant wasn't working properly, clogged (HOAT + OAT), or other I should have seen it. Just appears to be a major nuisance.
Thanks for any advice!
