Overheating (not bhg)

My car was blowing coolant into the overflow tank but I did not want to post about it because I knew everyone would jump to the conclusion that it was a blown head gasket. I did some detective work and found the problem. I had bought an aftermarket radiator cap with one of those e-z release levers. Well that was shot, so the coolant had no place to go but into the overflow. The coolant is still green, the oil is not milky, and now I can go on my merry way.

P.S. Do not buy those radiator caps with the orange lever, they suck.
