i don't totally understand what you're saying.... but the clear tube/hose should go from the option b tank to the top of the stock heat exchanger.. and the copper or brass (not sure which) goes into the stock heat exchanger, and then the clear tube connects to that

Little black insert goes into the brass fitting. Then the brass fitting goes onto your STOCK heat exchanger. Clear tube goes from brass fitting to small nipple on 2nd (option b tank) tank.

That's what I thought. So I'll see it through the clear tube. Thanks man.

Its an air bleeder so nothing should go through there. Thats what the black insert is for...to stop fluid coming through and only allow air.

Some coolant will bleed up through the restrictor.... that's normal.

What you shouldnt have is a steady flow of coolant going from the top of the stock heat exchanger back to the expansion tank.
