Hi I need help.My 1996 Saab 900 S has started to leak coolant from the expansion tank but it seems to be doing it under pressure and through the cap. (can see the coolant all over the engine). This happens nearly every time I drive it. I have fitted a new cap to the tank, but to no avail. If I open the expansion tank when it has just happened, it refills from the small top hose connected to the rad ? I have got a small head gasket leak but, would this cause this problem after 20 minutes of driving ? The temp gauge never rises above halfway. Any help would be greatly taken thanks Jason
