common, if it gets hot, and it does, it will always blow out of the relief in the cap.

Mine did it far too much but it turns out it was overfilled. Just check the level and take some out if need be.

Mine is just below max mark and has never leaked :?

Must be a williams/valver thing

So what about a car that gets hot but doesn't leak?
