Might be the cap?
Pressure test the system and or cap, which ever is easiest for you.
System test OK, then it is the cap.
I say which ever is easiest, 'cause a system pressure tester is easier to find around here. Only dealers bother to test caps, to verify warranty charges to manufacturer.

You can switch over the cooling system for well under $80 if you want using a moroso in hose filler neck, 2 hose clamps, some 5/16 hose, a radiator cap, and a dorman 603-001 reservoir.
