Seals on filler cap tend to be dodgey (comman fault) small leak somewhere (hoses/radiator) or the worst case scenario ur head gasket I hope u don't have any slimey gunge around ur oil fill cap, if you do it's the latter

theres no noticable leaks which is my concern no gunge around the oil cap, im not sure lol! im going to replace the cap i think...worst that can happen is it doesnt cure the problem..cap seems to be holding the pressure fine though

Just be a leak somewhere, have a good sccot around the engine bay you will find it eventually, and give the radiator a good looking at, you will see the antifreeze where it is leaking, just let it tick over for a while so it gets upto temerature and gets plenty of pressure in the system

as above, most possible a small leak...look for damp patches at the base or on the floor where you're parked

Had this myself. Didnt see any leaks for about a month, then one cold morning the radiator blew.

hopefully mine should settle after a few days, there will still be abit of air in there after the water pump has been off!
