Steam + Ast= Wtf
Yesterday I had steam spew out of my AST like a hot kictchen Kettle or something it abruptly stopped like if something blocked it then, about 5 minutes later it started again at the same rate. Does that make any type of sense?

i had the same problem. ur car is off and you just listen to it hiss air out of the overflow tube for a couple minutes then u hear it stop. Then a minute later it starts up again. A true factor showing that your AST works. but also means that u have an amount of air in your system to relieve so much air to sound like a steaming kettle. Do you bog at start up or anything?(troubleshooting for bad o-ring)

Check the cap first. Then worry about testing for an o-ring failure.
