you just found out that that cap on the top of the engine, you know the plastic black one with the lil can on it

is not where you refill the coolant?

If its anything like me - just as you've put 5L of fresh coolant in - it leaks out the thermostat flange because GSF sell sh!tty sh!t parts.

But I'm going with broken indicator bulb.

filled the engine up with antifreeze and the radiator up with oil ?

more likely it's allready pee'ed all the antifreez out and now just has water in again
