I'd watch that area when you do the pressure test.

Attached pressure test kit to overflow tank cap with a tight seal, cold engine. System holds *no pressure*. Heard air leaking around the bleed valve. Put some water around the valve, and saw bubbles near one of the screws where bleed valve cover attaches to overflow tank. No obvious cracks and no pink fluid in trunk.
Bolts are tight so didn’t feel the need to overtighten.
Are next steps replacing the bleeder valve, o ring, etc, or ?
