Be careful with the replacement tank if needed. Lots of bad ones.
Don't dismiss the possibility that the w/p is beginning to leak?
Good luck and let us know how it is resolved. I hope you have an uneventful journey home after the repair.
If the leak is minor, you might ask others of they have had any experience of limping home with the pressure relieved by not screwing the cap on tight + frequent top-ups? I'm not recommending it because I have never tried this on this engine.

That's basically what happened to mine. As soon as you reach regular running temperature the coolant will start puking out violently if the cap is not sealed.
