Is this a problem Late 04 & above with aluminum radiators ? Mine has steel tanks & brass core. If this is aluminum only then I might be safe. Just checking.

When ours started to leak it was very similar to what Jim experienced. Sometimes a small leak, sometimes no leak at all. This went on for months before the leak became a bit more steady. However the leak was never so bad that we worried about using the coach. Just decided one day to get it fixed while our warranty covered it.

Aluminum radiator only.

I vote for replacing the radiator cap if you are sure the coolant level was proper before seeing a leak. If you do not have an overflow tank there must be an air chamber in radiator top, or coolant will be expelled when it gets hot. Checking coolant level hot is a sure way to obtain 3rd degree burns. BTW, all coolant tanks have hot and cold liquid level markings to observe.
