Question about overflow bottle placement

[davidb]

My SHO came with an oversized radiator. Because of this, a stock overflow bottle will not fit anywhere. The car also came with the stock air box removed. Here are pics showing how it is set-up now.

I am worried about the overflow bottle being to close to the intake filter. What would happen if the bottle or a hose started leaking and collant got sucked up into the intake? I check the thing all the time and try to keep the bottle level low as possable. My question is; should this be a worry and if so what can I do about it. I would appreciate any suggestions. I really don't want to go through the trouble of replacing the radiator if I don't have to.

i dont think there would be enough to hydrolock the engine.

You'll be fine as long as you're not going 130 mph and your car overheats! Your car would have to be spewing coolant and sucking a LOT of air at the same time...........you'll be fine IMO.
