Are you sure you are not overfilling it and it is retuning to the natural max level? The only way to see the min/max levels is to remove the bottle (pull it up).

Quick update, did the iacv gasket today but havent run the car so will update again later wil info.

I checked all the vac lines and couldnt find any issues. there was no suction on the egr line though, is that right with the blanking plate? do i still need to block the line?

And i cracked the coolant nipple with the engine running and no air, just coolant.
