First check for combustion gases in the coolant before you buy a new cap. You can get a small test kit at NAPA (Lisle 75500) which, when mixed with coolant, will show whether you have exhaust gas in the coolant and a bad head gasket. Or have a mechanic do the test. It takes about five minutes. If you have no leak, then buy a new cap.
