Can Overheating Be Linked To Overflow Res

[scruffboy]

I just replaced O2 sensor, do you think it would give me any indications seeing as it is so new? Also, If they perform compression test on coolant system, could that pressure blow the HG? That's what I'm worried about, them pumping up the system and creating more leaks. I made an appointment for this afternoon with a shop my friend used to work at. I plan to hang around and check what they do. Could valve cover gaskets go without blowing HG? I noticed the valve cover gasket looks a little ratty.

The coolant pressure test will show you where you have coolant leaks, it won't create new ones, unless they where just about to leak. The valve cover has nothing to do with cooling. If it looks bad replace it, that way it doesn't leak oil.

they pump up the pressure to just above were the pressure would be when your car was runing normaly so it wont create any leaks unless they did it when the engine was super cold.
