boiling noises from 20vt head(whoops)

[Craig D. Niederst]

Brett,
Any chance the pressure cap on the coolant reservoir has gone bad? My '92
100S has similar gurgling noises and an occasional loss of a small bit of
coolant. Turned out the cap was bad, and since replacing it (for about $7),
have had no coolant losses (or gurgling noises) since. HTH.
