    oops! Missed that little piece of trivia: My bad! :oops: That's actually ideal test conditions. Here is what I would do if I was as lucky as you to live where you do: I'd add coolant to the overflow-tank when the engine is stone-cold (stone warm?) to the approx. half-full point as a baseline, and then monitor the behavoir for a while. I would even take a Sharpie and put a black dot at that spot and the spot where the level is when you have taken it for a good run and it's fully hot as a second base line. Over time, it will tell you what is going on. If you get a day when it's 90 out, put a dot there too. (I know: it never does... I've been to Maui and Honolulu: you don't have to rub it in.) ;) but it will give you another useful reference spot. Same thing if it ever drops to 75 out there. <------:rofl:

    No.

    These are fuel hose clamps.

    I got a bunch from here. Those ABA hose clamps are about as good as it gets, unless you go to tbolt clamps, but I don't think they make them small enough for that application.
