The res. tank is full and theres plenty of heat from the heater, the car is not overheating. Does the top hose take water to or from the engine? Any thoughts. Thanks

That is how it is on most vehilces to keep the water pump from sucking air if the water level gets low. The only time there might be pressure is when the termostat opens and exchanges water, other wise the water mainly circulates in the engine block. 1998 Contour SVT Black w/ Blue interior Torsen LSD updated shiftforks Lightened Flywheel, HD Drivelines Optimized Thottle Body 2003 3.0L engine upgrade (Soon to be)
