I got my 86 out from winter dulldrums and drove 200 mile trip. Noticed that reserve overflow was filled and the tank itself was low. I drained some from overflow (when engine was sitting overnight) and then proceeded to open the main coolant tank to put in more fluid. As soon as I loosened the blue cap pressure started filling it up from the rest of the water system. I quickly tightened it down. When I run it - it gets low again. I have never had this problem of pressure being so great that I can't just simply take main tank cap off. Could this be a bad cap? It is a newer one which I got because it looked newer. Can't seem to find the old one. Ideas?
