    So when the pump has failed the liquid would be at an equal level?

    The liquid will find its own level whenever the pump isn't pumping (as you'll see any time the car is off).

    Mind you, I don't know whether Gen 2 still has that little baffle in there, but it was useful in Gen 1, so I don't know why they would discontinue it.

    No baffle on the g2.

    Also ever since I changed my inverter coolant I see very aggressive
    Flow in the reservoir. Went from just mildly flowing with old coolant to looking like it's at full boil with new coolant. I also added Radline water wetter to the inverter fluid. That stuff works.
