No pressure in cooling system

[OR VietVet]

Well then it appears that the head gaskets are good at this time. You are losing it somewhere. You might want to send an oil sample in to have it evaluated. I don't know who to recommend and oil testing but others here will. Just do a search for oil samples and oil testing. But I bet if you LOOK hard enough you can see signs of where the problem is.

It's water.

Other then getting some uv dye and running that for a few days and then getting the oil anylized im not sure theres much else i can do at this point

You gotta figure out why the cooling system will not build pressure when you try to pressurize it. May need t remove the reservoir bottle and inspect it all around, if you cannot get a good look at it mounted. That system needs to pressurize.

Well at this point il have to bring it to a mechanic, as im pretty much all out of options as a starter diy’r. Its not overheating and when i release the cap from the resevoir i can hear pressure releasing.

That's why I said there may be something wrong with the way the pressure tester seals at the reservoir.

After she cools il try the universal adapter and see if that does anything

That did not go good.. it started taking on psi and as soon as it got to 15 psi POP goes the weasel. Coolant everywhere including my eyes.. well guess the fitting was defective afterall
