Checking For Coolant Leaks

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Infiniti M45. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with the radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) and the radiator cap tester adapter (SST).

Testing pressure : 157 kPa (1.6 kg/cm 2 , 23 psi) 

WARNING: Never remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high pressure engine coolant escaping from radiator.
CAUTION: Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
NOTE: In a case that engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant.
