I bought a new radiator cap and all problems went away. I don't quite understand it but I'm okay with that. No more condensation inside or on back in the little compartment in the trunk :)

Definitly through the front only. Just took out the 2 bolts once I was in there and then rotated it clockwise and it came right out. I was impressed at how easy it was. Good luck.

I had 12.1 when I just changed my Alternator tonight. Car started up fine. Then I had about 13.3 or so. You should look for atleast 13 volts to be going into the battery for it to be charging.
