Hi,

I have a decat pipe fitted yesturday and also a boost gauge and oil pressure gauge.

Since it was fitted i noticed last night and today that coolant is leaking from my radiator cap. Does anyone know if any of the above would cause anything that would make this happen or can anyone think of something that i could do to elimate what is causing this.

Ive checked the seals on the cap and they are not cracked and look in pritty good condition.

Any info would be very much appreciated.

Mines has always leaked, change the cap for an STi and it still leaks! No ham done tho, just keep an eye on levels!

It could be an indication that the cooling system is under pressure, headgasket leaking maybe. Are there any bubbles in the expansion chamber when you rev the engine, if there is, then I would get it checked out

Hi,

Yes when i keep the engine running and take of the cap (really Carefully) the water is bubbling. When i rev the car the water gets sucked away and then comes bubbling out.

I also checked the oil pressure gauge and its reads at 90 psi at start up and moves up and down between 40 and 90 psi i take it that that is not normal.

So is it my head gasket and is it an exspensive then to replace and is there anything i should think of gettin done while the head gasket is being done.
