I was working on the car last night fixing an exhaust leak I have between the turbo and the downpipe. Well I had to remove the radiator and tons of coolent came out. The reserve tank is still full, is there a way I can re-fill it, or should I just start the car up and let it re-fill itself. Stupid question I know. Also can this leak make you run rich? I read that on dsmtuners...
Also I have a boost leak at my standard HKS BOV. I can hear it whistling. If I push down on top of it while car is running, the engine will stumble a little then its fine again. I boost at about 6 psi, when it should be 8. Am I in need of a new BOV?

If you drained your radiator, then your going to have to refill it, the overlfow can is not goign to replace the 2 or so gallons of fluid you lost. As far as the exhaust leak goes, it really depends on the leak as far as how it would effect the car to cause a rich or lean condition, is it before or after the o2 sensor?

It was before O2 and was pretty big, thats what made me believe it is causing the car to run rich. Where should i refill coolent, the cap on the thermostat?

dude just fill it up with water(if its not freezing outside) then go the whever and buy 2 gallons of collant. drive home and drain your radiator. flush it while your at it. and fill it up the right way.
