As I sit here I am thinking I should try a different cap just in case...

Hard to say. If so it was only very slight and barely noticeable.

The new cap has completely eliminated my leak. My old cap was blue/green in color and the new one is black. I don't know where I got the idea that this was only on the 3.4 cars but it definitly was an issue on my 03.

Ok, thanks. I had my reservoir and cap updated back in 2005 but noticed today that my cap ends in 001 and the current cap ends in 004 so I put one on order along with the little hose just behind the oil pan and a new resistor for my radiator fan (which I suspect is the culprit for the increase in temps on my car).
