is this possibly just what is known as bongo paranoia. joking aside many people who have been or are still going through what you have been through start to not see the wood for the trees and judgement starts going wonky.
is it just possible that 14 lts of coolant at say 50 -60 deg c measures less in volume than it does after several days of cooling down to say 5-10 deg c, in the early days i fell for this myself, i would run it for a while and build up your confidence in the bongo again providing no obvious faults occur, maybe little local journeys initially just in case. some bongos do take a while to settle down to their level, some NEVER sit at the full mark but find there own level, often just between the 2 marks.
