Wow, that’s such a good point! I had to replace my water pump last year because of this. Always seems like there’s another part to worry about!
You should also ensure the coolant is topped off correctly. Sometimes, overfilling can pressure the cap and cause spills when you remove it.
That definitely happened to me! After overfilling, the first time I popped the cap, it seriously sprayed everywhere. Lesson learned!

For a straightforward troubleshoot, check all the hoses for any cracks or leaks, and replace them if needed. Regular maintenance is key.
I’ve had my share of coolant issues! It’s worth double-checking the condition of your radiator too, especially if it’s older. Relying on the same cap for years can lead to issues.
Totally get you! Radiators can be a hassle! A proactive approach of checking components can save a lot of headaches down the line.

Can’t stress enough how important it is to check for blockages! Sometimes a hose can look fine but still restrict the flow significantly. A thorough inspection is essential!
