coolant seeps out of reservoir cap @ high revs???
i am wondering if anyone has noticed this on their car.
or maybe it is caused by something else.
i drive the sr; only change is the sri.
when i pass some vehicles, revs up to 4k to 5k for a few seconds,
the smell of burnt coolant goes inside, even with “circulation” on.
also, i keep seeing dried coolant around the area of the reservoir tank,
and down the paths to the bottom, where the engine oil plastic cover is attached below the filter.
when i checked the cap of the reservoir, there is no gasket on it.
i have not added fluid personally, but i guess the dealer adds some when i bring it.
am i missing something here??
fyi, i saw that dried coolant when i got the car two years ago.
(time to visit the dealer..?)

I don't recall whether the reservoir cap has a gasket. Some plastic caps are designed in a way that does not require a gasket. I would check my Maxima, but it is temporarily in a body shop many miles away.
