I pulled the radiator cap to see if there is any coolant in the filler neck and noticed that it appears coolant is leaking from the cap as well. I have posted some pics.

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this. Seems like maybe there is too much pressure in the cooling system which is causing this to happen. Is that possible? I don't know if I have lost much coolant, the coolant temp on the gauge has always read well, never has been hot. I remember only once, on a very hot day, that some coolant blew out the overflow reservoir and made a spotted mess when the blue antifreeze dried; I cleaned that up but now I see more right below where the radiator cap is located so I am thinking that cap is leaking for sure (will be buying a new one). Looking for any thoughts on this.

I am FI with the stock Stillen setup.
I have the SC A to A setup and I also get some tiny bits of dried coolant on a connection or two. It has never increased and doesn't affect the coolant reservoir level so I don't really worry about it.
