Abstract
An engine cooling system (16) of a vehicle (12) includes a coolant de-gas bottle (30) which contains a body of liquid engine coolant (52). The vehicle (12) also has a second fluid system such as a fluid power assist steering system (70) or an engine lubricating oil system. The de-gas bottle (30) includes means for defining a second fluid passage (82) in the de-gas bottle for enabling flow of the second fluid through the de-gas bottle in a heat-exchanging relationship with the body of liquid engine coolant (52) in the de-gas bottle.
