Radiator Cap, where can I get it?
Hey all, took my tl for an oil change and noticed the antifreeze twist cap was cracked. This explains why I noticed antifreeze missing. Seems like an easy fix, my question however is where I can get one online? When I search the only cap I find is the metal one!
Here is a pic on what I need!

Hmm, I wonder if I can just pick the part up at a local dealer? With the holidays fast approaching, It will take like... forever for the part to come in! I'll call tomorrow. The part itself is cheap but I'm sure the dealer will mark it up.

As long as the tubing isn't cracked shoudn't be loosing any coolant through the top of the reservoir. As you can see the MAX line is quite a bit lower than the cap. Place some talcum powder around the top of the reservoir and then you'll be able to see if any is leaking out as the powder will highlight the moisture. If none, have the system pressure tested when cold, but cetainly can't hurt to replace the defective part.
Our TL coolant level drops ever so slowly, but just been too lazy to throw the tester on the system. Come spring maybe it will be a good time to do the test along with a coolant change.

I have shitty luck...
I went to the dealer and was able to get the top for under 4 dollars, Sweet!! On my way home on the FDR, this city truck had something that fell off his truck and smacked my lower left portion of my front bumper causing the paint to crack in more places than 1...F*&K. I followed the guy and took pictures getting his license plate. I'll file a report with the City when the holidays are over. an a spec front lip might cover it.
