When my tank went bad, it was in a location that I couldn't see any residue. I just knew I was having coolant leaving the system and decided to try the tank first. Especially since it has been mentioned on here a lot too.
Need to have the warning light turned off. Then if, after a new cap [just replaced] I'll continue with the process of elimination.
