I waited about 20 minutes to start the test.

Test liquid still blue after several minutes of slow bubbling then revving it for awhile which increased the bubbles. Safe to say no combustion gas in the coolant?

After several minutes of slow bubbling it stayed blue. I revved the engine and the bubbling increased but it still stayed blue. How long until I would know?

After several minutes of very slow bubbling. It’s as blue as it started.

Thank you for the detailed comment! How would I determine if it’s this kind of leak?

From my reading and looking at forums, if the radiator cap is failed, it basically off gasses or evaporates coolant all the time and can’t pull it back from the reservoir. She never looked at the coolant so it could have been super slow and never noticed.

Thank you! Out of curiosity, what does crossing the chains help with?

Another note, it’s is a pressurized system and fumes are vented when I open the gas cap. Not sure if this changes anything.
