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.
