Coolant loss

It saves having to continually chase new leaks except for the ones that come with clamps settling.

This includes steel braided, steel, copper and nylon lines. Take the time to take care of all of it at once rather than weekly dropping the coolant to handle the next one that pops up.

Absolutely correct. That was the takeaway from my experience. I've already begun making a list of hoses to have on hand for the next time I drain the system.

On a related note, glad I picked up that airlift kit after I got back from my trip to Rawze's. Took less time to fill the system then it did to drain.
