I reread my post and realize it sounds kind of arrogant. Sorry about that, didn't mean it that way. Just trying to make the point that in order for coolant to be ejected from the system, something has to expand. Water expands I think somewhere around 1600 times in volume when it turns to steam so it doesn't take more than a few drops of coolant turning to steam to cause a major expansion, and lots of lost coolant.
