The rad sprang a leak and to limp home I used a zero pressure cap on the 'pressure' tank. I used a spare old cap and cut the plastic valve out of it. It worked. Now I've plugged the rad leak enough that it won't leak at all with the zero pressure cap but I'm not sure if it will hold with the real pressure cap. What is the harm of running the coolant system with no pressure? I know that the coolant will boil at a lower temperature but that's not likely during a Canadian winter (is it?). I'd like to limp through until spring. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated. -Larry '86 Syncro Westfalia
