After doing all kinds of things to cure a coolent loss/overheating problem (water pump, cover gasket, belt, belt tensioner, thermostate, upper hose) I replaced the presure cap with one I got at the dealer. Didn't pay attention to the new cap until started to lose coolent again. Could not find any spec listed in either the owners manuel or the service manuels. Did find a picture in the owners manuel showing a cap with 15lbs on the decal. The dealer replacement cap is 18lbs. Turns out that the upper hose was leaking from a loose clamp. Maybe caused by higher presure but maybe I just didn't tighten it enough when I installed it.
So my question is what is the correct presure cap limit and if it is not 18lbs should I replace with the correct presure cap?
