The next video in the series shows it leaking coolant (he drove across a salt marsh road for dramatic effect), but it seems he's happy to believe it's not serious after a pressure test. Strange thing is, he never deep dived into the issue at all, despite possessing the gear to do so. He suggested it was a pressure cap failure, but footage wasn't convincing to be honest. Good to see someone talking the car up, anyhow.
