The cap to my coolant overflow tank is slightly cracked
Not critically, but, when the engine starts getting hot (normal hot) the pressure causes coolant to spray out of the crack instead of cycling back into the radiator
I used some bonding stuff to cover it up and seal it, and it held for a few months, but now its coming through the bonding material too
Anyways, im having trouble finding the specific overflow tank cap (or even new tank) I need
Any google search returns me this:
https://www.carid.com/1999-mitsubishi-eclipse-coolant-recovery-tanks/
These "L-Shaped" ones don't fit (even ordered one and tried it) as they collide with my air intake
The one I need is this one:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/173831195739
It sits vertically, long-wise
Unfortunately, this seller doesn't seem to have a cap, the KEY part that needs replacing
Any advice?
Thanks in advance
