i am planning on taking it to a shop to have it pressure tested and any leaks fixed but i want to know that everything else works the way it should first. i don't have a mechanic that i trust (cause i have never had to use a mechanic where i currently live) and ive heard too many stories about shop visits where $1000 bucks later it ended up just being a relay or sensor! i am aware that there is a probably a leak since it was empty when i got it and i will get that taken care of before i dig too much deeper into anything else. i am just wondering if anyone else has had these problems and it was just something electrical.
