It's not the case.

The motor was replaced by PMNA just 7,000 miles ago and if there was a blown head gasket it would be eating coolant prior to failure. This last time it went over 1,000 miles and a few weeks without losing a drop of coolant.

If there was a blown head gasket there would have been coolant consumption that would have warned us. The oil would also show foaming and a caramel like coloration which is not the case.

Although the cap is a highly ranked suspect at this point. I replaced the cap the first time, but I'm starting to suspect it's the cap allowing the system to over pressurize.
