Coolant Cap Poll

On my second 04 version coolant cap. Caps seemed fine, just replaced them hoping to eliminate condensation.
Have always had condensation. No loss of coolant or overheating, except when water pump fails.
And I'm on my fourth water pump. Worn impellers each time.
100,000 mi 2000 base.

Yikes! 4 water pumps in 100k miles? How did you know water pump failed each time, did you wait for it to overheat, or trail of coolant leaking under the car?

I am on my original water pump with 80k miles, 02 base.

Thanks.
