Ok. Thanks. I'm really beginning to understand. Yes, the hose BEHIND the firewall on the coolant tank is where the liquid is leaking from.
So, I am going to keep an eye on that bleeder valve as well.
I'm not sure if it's defective or not.
On the Pelican page the following reviews describe my valve pretty well:
Pelican Parts - European Automotive Parts and Accessories - Porsche • BMW • Mercedes • Volkswagen • Audi • Saab • Volvo • MINI
I did buy "The German" bottle and not The Porsche. Lesson learned. No more cheaping out on parts.
If that valve is indeed leaking during the cool down or heat soak, would I see liquid or steam coming out of it?
I do not see steam, condensation, or liquid near the new cap or the bleeder valve, yet the liquid spews by the rear tire.
This morning I did not get the engine as hot, which is probably why it didn't leak as much. This afternoon's leak was about the same as yesterday's.
I'm not sure that rushing out and buying The Porsche valve is a good idea just yet.
I'm also going to keep a close eye on the hose from the top of the oil cooler, as I don't know if that's the culprit.
Besides, Pelican is closed until Tuesday.
