I have similar symptoms although not as severe.. my current diagnosis
is the my radiator cap, as yours may be, is not actually sealing on
the inner section. I noticed this because there is nice shiny brass
for a section of the inner ring of the filler neck but not the entire
way around. My guess is that the filler neck is not "square".
