Oil Pressure Query

[Andy Bennett]

In my first few months of ownership I too used to get a good spray of water from the rad cap particularly on overrun after a fast bit of road. Investigation found that the rad wasn't fully through the surround so although the cap was in good condition it was partially sitting on the chrome rather than the rad and so not sealing properly. I also think I was over filling thinking that I needed water up to the top.
A bit of jiggling of the rad to seat it properly in relation to the surround and a little less coolant and all has been fine for 18 years.
