Two quick questions:

1. Regarding the top heater hose (the one that connects from the top of the radiator to the engine where the thermostat is located), on the end of the hose that connects to the radiator, I see dried-up coolant residue. I saw the same thing on my 350Z, except on the end where it connects to the engine. Do you guys have this? Is this common?

2. When you guys start you vehicle, do you push the start button and release right away or do you hold down until the engine starts up? I personally push and release right away and have seen others hold until it fully starts
