I thought I had a bad radiator cap, but a new one on, and still has coolant dripping from the overflow hose that is just below cap, the hose goes over to top of reservoir bottle. I replaced the hose sense it was factory OEM never changed. And still no matter how tight I get the clamp it still drips from right at the hose/nipple below radiator cap. I checked to see if the nipple was cracked, couldn't find a crack. The cap for this radiator has a seal but doesn't have a spring-loaded plunger to close off coolant flow from going to the bottle until it warms up like most caps do. I'm not up to speed on what I'm calling a free flow coolant system.
