Coolant Dump

Hi folks okay i had an issue with the cap approx 3 months ago and replaced the cap and all was fine no coolant dump or condensation on boot lid , then today out of the blue it dumps again right in front of the drivers side rear wheel.

The temperature light didnt shine nor did the temp climb it was sat at approx 85ish the fan had kicked in and before i left for my very short 2 mile drive i had checked the water and it was on the max level.

Reason i checked was yesterday i noticed the cap was hissing again and there was a small amount on codensation on the boot lid.

The water that was dumped on the floor was cold not hot yet the system emptied below the min level , then for a brief moment the temp light flashed a few times then stopped.

My question is , could it be the cap again , ive only done approx 400 miles and i would of thought the water would of been hot or at least warm to the touch , this time the dump was just a trickle rather than a complete dump like before.

No oil in header tank
No white sludge on dipstick or oil cap
No misfire
No stored or pending fault codes
No white smoke or steam from the exhaust
No MIL Light activation

thnx in advance
