Paul - Long ago, I did have many of the joints leaking. I changed all 
of the hose sections, replaced all clamps with good, sturdy stainless 
steel clamps, and tightened the "you know what" out of them upon 
installation. If you have old hoses, or original clamps, it is 
entirely possible for the leaking to occur at the joints. As for the 
pressure rating of the cap, unless the system is very hot, the 
pressure shouldn't build up to that level. I don't think that the 
proper cap is constantly relieving pressure during normal operation. 
Others may have an opinion on that. It certainly is better to have 
the correct cap, to avoid pressure-related damage to the system in the 
event of an over-heat.
