In the past, I had some leakage at the tube at the bottom of the reserve container. Triming the tube and reattaching securely solved the problem.

Today I ran the engine at 3400RPM in gear for one-half hour with no visible evidence of anti-freeze leakage. Several weeks ago I motored from the boat yard to my home port for 2 hours and upon arriving discovered a large puddle of anti freeze and none in the reserve container.
Any additional thoughts?
Thanks.
