Pressure that is built up from heat, it's normal and you want that. No pressure after driving would indicate a leak in the system or a bad radiator cap.

If it's leaking like the thread title says then it's time to replace the cap

The lack of info, and contradictory info, is utterly overwhelming.

You'll get arrested if someone sees you doing that in your car.

Thank you for stating so simply what I wished to express.
