i need to fill my coolin system with anti freeze soon (just water in atm), last time i did it i could only find 2 bleed screws, reason i ask is im on my 2nd heater matrix, last one leaked again but think it was due to the coolant cap being jammed and not releasing pressure, have now got a new cap, just wanna make sure im not missing a bleed screw and it happening again.
the bleed screws i found were on the thermostat and by the bulkhead on heater pipe i think
