There is a rubber gasket on the inside of the cap.

i pulled my cap and did not find any rubber seal, anywhere...

That was a buddy's '05 yesterday. Let me go check my '06 right now.

Yes, there is clearly a rubber gasket in my cap as well. Pressing on it with a key leaves a small indentation then it goes back to its original shape. Also, on both of our caps, you could hear the pressure release as you turned the cap.

thanks guys... i do have that on there.... it doesn't leak as bad as it did when i started driving it (the car sat about 4 months before i started driving it).... who knows

around the cap is that crusty looking dried antifreeze... im just afraid the car was overheated and boiled over in the past...

oh well... it's been running like a champ lately anyway.

Hmmmm... I thought something looked familiar in that photo, I saw you take the cap off but never saw you take the photo.
