- feel the carpet in trunk. is it wet? no
- what are the last 2 digits on your coolant cap (.01 is revised version but they are on .02) Could be a bad cap See the pics for the cap. The only numbers I see on the cap are PA66GF30
- any crusty white residue on black filler plate below cap? Not really but if you look close you will see on the cap in the pics below there is some white residue on the very bottom of the cap
- remove the filler plate (take off oil filler cap too and pry up plate. There is a black cap w/ 8-10 bolts and a bent paperclip looking thing in the middle. Any white crusty residue around it? No the Previous Owner had changed out the overflow tank and must have cleaned that all up

Report back your findings and we can steer you in the right direction which probably includes a pressure test if you have the updated .01 or .02 cap

Good luck
