Coolant Spray in Radaiator Cap Area
Couple weeks ago I notice Coolant spray fluid around my radiator cap area. You can also see coolant on the lower engine cover. I bought a new cap and added the missing Coolant thinking maybe it's a bad cap.
I been watching it after I changed the cap and the problem stopped. I also monitored the temperature guage and also checked the coolant temp with my obd app and the car didnt overheat.
Today the Coolant smell came back. When I checked the same problem return. I found coolant spray around my radiator cap. I can't figure where it's coming from. Any idea?

I will advise you right now to try to find a koyo aluminum rad. This cooling system is a long annoying process to bleed and these plastic rads are garbage.

I have air in the system since the heat don't work. When I fill the coolant nothing came out of the relief valve.

I run the engine with radiator cap remove to operating temp , heater on high , when you see coolant drop in the radiator add more coolant as needed then open relief valve, small amount of coolant release, close valve add more coolant as needed, after few min. open relief valve, top off coolant, do this few time, heater should work..

I'm planning on taking the car to a shop to do a complete coolant flush to get all the old coolant and junk out. I do it every 24k miles.
