just started it
took the cap off there are no bubbles in the bottle, left it running for 20 mins was watching the bottle throughout
the car is a 2.5 v6

Doesn't sound like you have a big problem then, and it would be very unlikely on a V6 anyway, IMHO. What happens if you don't release the pressure?
