I get it, I just had to roll my eyes over it. Of COURSE you sprayed coolant again.

I think with the old (bad) radiator cap the system wasn't building to full pressure, and with the new one it finally got high enough to blow coolant past the clamp/neck and all over.

It's especially annoying since I've had leaking coolant issues from the get go.

Thermostat housing to pump - check.
Replaced thermostat that has new seal - still leaked.
Added coolant safe sealant to housing - ghetto fixed. (apparently there's a newer design to the pump/housing but we'll do that someday)

Reducer fitting for the steam line to radiator - leaked.

Cap - leaked.

Now bottom hose - leak.
