I just recently started having a problem on my 99 xj, with my radiator cap leaking coolant when it gets to operating temp. It doesn't overheat but that's only because I keep adding distilled water almost every day. It doesn't spray out or anything like that, just drips out quickly when it gets warm.
A little background... I just bought the jeep a few months ago and about a month ago I took the radiator cap off to check the coolant. I found out the guy I bought it from had used tap water and there was a ton of build up on the cap and the coolant was not even recognizable as coolant. I drained the radiator then refilled it with 50/50 coolant/water. I also replaced the cap.
I already replaced the new cap thinking it was the problem. I know the xj's are kinda notorious for cooling system issues. Can anyone help me out?
