    Normal water loss

    My system has been running real solid for about 2-3 weeks now but I seem to be losing about a 1/4cm of water level in my t-line approximately every 3 days. My tubing is Masterkleer 7/16" diameter and I probably have about 14' of it total in my loop. What kind of permeability does this tubing have? Is this a normal amount of loss for a completely sealed system or should I look into the possibly of a micro leak somewhere? Thanks for your input.

    Could be that there is still air in the blocks or radiator. It takes a while before it all comes out

    What Rickz said. I had my res full and it seemed to stay put for a few weeks then all of a sudden it dropped and I thought I sprung a leak. No, it was just an airlock in my rad finally burped out.

    Yeah occasionally you do have to add water because of air pockets or evaporation in the case of a reservoir not being closed tight on the fill port.

    All sound advice, my system is definitly not setup for the most optimal bleeding so if it takes a month or two it's fine with me. I just didn't want to be dead in the water if there may have been some other issue.

    you shouldn't have any issues after bleeding it and all the air is out of it
