I have been leaking coolant at my radiator cap. This Dodge uses a plastic filler neck that sits above the thermostat. I used 3 different radiator caps, 3 filler necks, 2 thermostats while troubleshooting and still getting leaks; as well using different brands.
Also these leaks start when the thermostat opens but sometimes stops after driving it a bit, but randomly sometimes just continues throughout the drive.
No signs of a blown head gasket. No white smoke, no misfiring, no bubbles in the coolant reservoir or oil. The hose from the reservoir to the filler neck is good, it draws coolant into the system.
Never overheated during this process and no other leaks detected.
Water pump is fairly new, got it replaced during my last timing belt replacement.
Car runs great, no weird sounds and heater works. I also 'burped' the cooling system twice.
Appreciate any insight to my issue.
