Sp20 radiator cap
Looking to replace my radiator cap as I believe there is a slow leak, I clean the area below cap then a white dry spots appear I'm assuming dry coolant. My cap is 88kpa, wondering what brand and pressure I should buy. Cheers
Car is stock btw |

Auto or manual? the caps are different.
Just saw that it's manual, make sure the cap is for manual unless radiator has been replaced with one with 2 threaded inputs in lower tank which is for auto.

I have been there, my original cap was too tight for replacement radiator which has the auto line fittings. Seemed strange to me at the time.
