After driving my 84 Vanagon I = notice coolant coming from under the coolant expansion tank cap.  I'm not sure if = the van is running hot or not.  The water temp gauge doesn't work well all = the time.  The cap is on tight.  I just replaced the coolant and = refill tanks and caps, new thermostat, coolant,  and bleed the whole = system.  Is the cap supposed to open and close to allow for a pressure = release?  Could I just have a bad cap?  Any thoughts would be = appreciated.  Thanks, Jeff
