That is really strange. Its been about 2 years since I changes my radiator cap and haven used a drop of water. Sure sounds like a small crack in the expansion tank or leaking water pump that has a slow drip.

Car is being serviced in a couple of weeks so I may leave it to them to sort out. I'll have a look at the tank level later today since the car has been left since Friday evening with a full tank again - wonder what level it's at now!
