Radiator Cap Leak?
My new to me 2007 JK is exhibiting some 2-weekitis (2 weeks old from the area chop shop, used car dealer).
Noticed some coolant coming from the rad. cap. Cleaned it off and sure enough after a 20 min highway drive, there was another couple drops ....coming right from under the cap.
The cap looks new....possibly the cap is defective or the wrong sized, pressure rating?
Sure doesn't look like a bad radiator. This a little leak, not enough to reach the ground....still plays on your mind
Ideas?

RockAuto has the cap for like $5 and locally it's under $10. Id just buy a new one and slap it on. It's not worth the hassle. I replace them all the time with AC Delco professional when I order from Rock. I think it's $3.50
