Default whats going on s2

right, i have just had my engine running and filled with coolant for a week now since driving 300 miles in one day, for the first time in 10 months, there was a leak of coolant ,from around one of the core plugs @ the front ,the next day, not a lot just a few drips on the sump. anyway ,i havent driven it this week, and went to get a pressure test done tonight,

NO LEAKS AT 15 PSI, pumping it up

i was told its probably sealed itself ?????????????

IS THIS POSSIBLE FOR IT TO DO THIS Y/N

thanks for any advice,
dave

I dont know for sure mate but maybe the expansion / contraction of belo block as you heat it up / cool it in use might make reseat itself and seal up. I should keep using it for a bit keep topping up and see what happens

90% of coolant leaks wont happen when the car is stone cold, rag it round the block a couple of times, then see
