Problem w/ Intercooler Reservoir
The last few days I have noticed a problem. Each time I am done driving my truck the water from the Intercooler Reservoir foams up and leaks out of the to down onto my front drivers side wheel. The water is leaking out of the top where the cap screws onto the reservoir. I have a Radix and I am using distilled water with one bottle of Redline water wetter. I am thinking it has something to do with the heat because this is the first time I have had this problem. Does anybody have any suggestions for a fix? Let me know.

There's a fill line near the top of the tank. You shouldn't need to fill too often. Mine needs a cup, or two once a year, or so. You might have a leaky core, or somewhere else.
Also, the water in the intercooler tank should be warm to the touch, not so hot you couldn't stick your finger in it.

BTW, put some coolant in your system. Water wetter is not going to do much for you at that low temperature.
