Guys, i've noticed something rather peculiar with the cooling system of my car from about a week.The coolant level drops by about 100ml from time to time and with this, the radiator hoses become sucked with pressure developed within the cooling system and released on opening of the radiator cap.There are no visible leaks whatsoever and the pressure is normal upon testing by a friend.Also refilled coolant after getting the whole system flushed making sure to burp it for removal of any air bubbles. Could it be an issue with the thermostat ???Are the hoses reusable ???And is it that my radiators time has expired ???lol. I'm lost.

yeah i got that aswell, i also found that the bottom rubber seal has bloated up to a large size, probably blocking the overflow port causing such condition as sucked in pipes lol..
