coolant lost?
I had a coolant flush done, after 500 miles the coolant in reservoir went down 1". Then the next 500 miles it went down another 1". Will a pressure leak down test with dye tell me why? If the air was never bleed out will it do this? Thank you guys for answering every time. I have been using this site since the 90's.

Are you seeing any signs of leakage? The system is designed to rid it itself of air. The 4.2 system is pretty basic. The level you see in the bottle is the level in the engine and radiator. If you park on a slope you could get a different reading than on level ground.
