Hello Georgiann Dockery and welcome to ""FIXYA""...
Not knowing PRECISELY what a 2008 TORRENT
recovery bottle looks like... I cheated and used
he ROCKAUTO website to see SEVERAL iterations
( abundant: very popular ( not a good OMEN )).
(((Parts USUALY popular when they're FRAIL))).
Of what the market depicts as YOUR BOTTLE
(see here):
https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/pontiac,2008,torrent,3.4l+v6,1441011,cooling+system,coolant+recovery+tank,10457
I would vigorously recommend NOT trying to
disconnect the "hose" (drain) from EITHER
side of that PLASTIC bottle...
There are so MANY replacement options... the
only logical conclusion is that it BREAKS like
a Christmas Tree Ornament...
Disconnect from the PRESSURE CAP side
and lower THAT end until your bottle empties.
FOR serious heating/cooling issues...
Your "expansion" bottle is FAIRLY
MEANINGLESS.. Please do not hesitate to
bring your SYMPTOMS here...
I am sure you will get some SERIOUS support.
Cold pressure testing your system ... like:
https://www.amazon.com/Stant-12270-Cooling-System-Pressure/dp/B0002SRGWU/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547174804&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=stant+cold+pressure
is an EXCELLENT place to start...
QUICKLY finds... blown gaskets, loose hoses, seals,
soft plugs... defective hoses... radiator/core failures...
(etc.) is a cold quiet (engine off) circumstance.
I can recommend no finer beginning to trouble-
shoot heating/cooling issues (cheap & easy).
Hope this helps.
