Coolant Issue

distilled water hmmm i only use that in my humidor. For topping of coolant...the garden hose works just fine :) Or you could go buy some 50/50 pre-mix.


i put garden hose water in my car for about 1 month.. just water no coolant and she ran fine. =) (i think it had maybe a drop left b/c when it busted i saw green ish dripping on the underhood sheet. It all came busting out though @ the store and the intake went crack fully. I brought some 50/50 antifreeze lastnight for the new system.:Word:
 
Okay, I'll bring it back tomorrow I guess and see what they say...or I'll just give them a call. I also read around here that a way to fix this is to loosen the coolant cap (while the engine is cool), then run the engine and let it suck in all the coolant because when I run the engine, it brings the coolant level here:

but when I unscrew the cap and release all the pressure in the tank, it fills back up to the line! GRRR!!! I'm so lost on how to resolve this...
