Default spitting coolant from around cap??

hey guys,


noticed a coolant smell a few months back, checked under the hood and it was obvious there was a spray (from where??), so I cleaned it off, and kept and eye on it. happened again so I pulled over and I could see it was coming from the cap. i have the mishimoto triple core rad. i replaced the cap with a wrx cap (per mishimoto)

its been fine until today i noticed it again when i checked my oil, just a little bit of dried coolant on my intake tube/around cap. anyone know why??


thanks,

matt

Does that mean you've had bad luck with other caps? Lol. If so explain what your issues were so I can maybe figure this out! Thanks

Yeah, and I changed the mishimoto cap for the wrx cap, which worked for a while...
