Do I need to Drain all Coolant?
I need to pull a couple of my WP bolts and put some thread sealant on them and replace them but I was wondering if anyone's done this without draining all the coolant?
It appears when I put the new pump on last month I must have forgotten or been to sparing when I applied sealant and I have some very minor seeping from just 2 bolts. I hate to drain the whole thing so I wondered if I just get the front of the car fairly high and do 1 bolt at a time if I will make a big mess?
TIA

Get a clean milk jug or old coolant jug and jes drain the coolant into there...then re-use. I do that everytime I do an opti change. ONly takes a few minutes...
