down the face of the condenser.
Check the engine cooling system hoses for brittle rubber,

cracking, tears, cuts, and tightness of the connection at

With the engine at normal operating temperature (but

not running), check the cooling system pressure cap for

proper vacuum sealing by draining a small amount of

bottle. DO NOT REMOVE THE COOLANT PRESSURE

CAP WHEN THE COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT.
