I pressure test my system using a hand held "mighty vac" that makes vacuum and pressure. The kit usually includes an assortment of fittings, hoses and a gauge. Tee into the smallest hose on the coolant reservoir and apply pressure. Do not go too high 5 to 9 psi because you don't want to break something. The pressure relief in the cap should relieve any over pressure...just in case. When the pressure is being applied, start looking for coolant leaks and start troubleshooting how to get the leak to stop. Hoses are easy, but a radiator that is deteriorating at the seams is a prime candidate for replacement $.
