That's what they want you to think. Right now it is monsoon season. It is hot and humid.

The reason it didn't leak (much) before with the other broken cap is because the other cap didn't let normal pressure build up. Pressure is designed to build up to resist boiling of the coolant (consider Three Mile Island...).
I know your right. I put some stop leak in it to buy me some time (probably not the right thing to do). As of now it is not leaking. I am checking it every time I stop to make sure it isn't leaking again. I know it will have to be replaced sooner than later

Stop leak crap can wreak havoc on a cooling system. Flush it out ASAP and replace the radiator.
