Ok, looks like u found fill cap? Do not overfill tank. It is an expansion tank. There needs to be an air gap at top. If u fill it to top, it will burp out when motor is hot. That may cause more confusion about where ur leak really is. [Previous page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/car-overheating-help/77843.md?page=1)
