PWR radiator caps

Of those who have the PWR radiator. I am having problems with the OEM cap and the PWR furnished cap leaking. The radiator has been lowered so the cap does not hit the hood. The rubber seals look good as well as the spring pressure and the overfill hose is tight. All the welds appear fine as well. Any others having this problem or switching to a name new cap. Any One?

Re: PWR radiator caps

I had a small steam leak after extended driving. I blew out the overflow tube got a new 13 lb cap. Seems to be better but not perfect. Cap ears should be in line with top of radiator tank. The fluid in mine is 1" below the top.

Re: PWR radiator caps

Subaru makes some round caps but I think that they are about 15psi.
If I recall its on a Bugeye WRX.

Re: PWR radiator caps

My daughter has a 2011 WRX and the cap is round with no ears. I will try one and return with input and thanks for the responses. The hood is still very close and with rough roads there might be interference.
