Bleed valve - top housing Q

Post by Slaydog »

Hi, should coolant come out of the bleed valve on the top housing when I’m fully topped up and engine it hot? Always undone it when topping up the expansion tank with engine running but never had any coolant come out when under pressure and undone.

Thx
