i was happy fitting a new flexable air intake pipe from the air filter to.. the other part (ha! dunno what that other part is called). then i took it out for a spin, when i stopped i noticed steam coming out of my bonnet 
i must of nudged the rad cap when i was fitting the pipe. the was quite a bit of brown water marks that had come out..
i dont know how much had leaked out or how much was in so i took the risk of driving back, the temp guage was rising as i was driving and i only just made it home.
is it normal to put in 2.5 litres of water? i need to get myself another rad cap because the rubber seal has perrished also. i took it out for annother test to see if the rad cap was still holding.. i noticed the tempreture was rising fast so i stopped, lifted the bonnet and there was no leak from the rad cap but there was steam hissing out of the expansion/engine coolant cap? ive put more water in and it seemed ok on the way home.
what do you think the problem is? should i dare to take it out again? i also need to get myself a rad cap and dont know where to get one ergantly, ive tryed the main dealers but they stock car parts haha!
