hello, my yukon blows antifreeze out of the relief from time to time. I keep adding to it but eventually it will relieve. I never see any leaks other than what comes out the relief. i have replaced the cap. The jiffy lube guy tells me it is normal to top off due to the antifreeze that gm uses??? I have heard the orange stuff is bad for the engine and to replace it with the green????

i strongly believe in removing the orange and putting baCK IN green. you could have the start of intake manifold gaskets leaking. usually the first sign is slow loss of coolant with no signs of a leak. hope this helps
