I guess I filled it up too much then. I'm sure the water level of my old VTS rad was usually right near the top so I did the same with this one...

I agree with the others though, just looks like an overflow hole? OR pressure hole
Ah, thats good to hear, seems like it's nothing to worry about then.

So I don't think any water would leak out when driving, as its only a small hole.
I'm sure the max line will be the same on a Nissens to a standard? I'll go outside and have a look in a min. I guess I just filled it up too far! I am just worried that when the water gets hot it's going to run up the tube and spray out into the bay!


Cheers for the input guys
