I put IS PODS on my STD. I'm having an issue with the reservoir tube pinching. I'm not getting flow to and from the reservoir tank. I think the tube is pinched near the radiator. After adding the IS PODS I wasn't sure of the best route for the reservoir tubing. Does it come off the radiator and route down under the POD bracket?

Currently mine goes above the bracket and behind a triangle plastic frame cover and back along the frame. I think its pinching behind that plastic cover. Every so often I get some coolant out the cap plus the reservoir tank wasn't getting warm after running. No problem prior to putting on the PODS.

Are you sure the cap is sealing?  If not, the same symptoms.

I'm going to pull the cap and check it out. At the same time I'm going to pull the reservoir tank and blow through the tube to verify the tubes is clear and not pinched.

I was just wondering on the proper routing of the tube as it comes off the radiator.

Take care, ethylene types of antifreeze are very toxic.
