I wish, would've been an easy fix. Leaks with the engine off and cool, cap off, filler neck filled with coolant above the overflow tube.

OK, easier. Thanks for the tip.
I imagine your vette is in hibernation up there in Middletown. Moved from Middletown two years ago. South end, S. Main at Randolph Rd. Worked at Pratt for 34 years.
