the cap on the thermostat tower has no spring(not a pressure relief
cap) . you can 1. order one from nissan.
2. orderone from a vendor. 3 order a rebuild kit ( new seal) from a
vendor) 4. make your own new seal and glue it in yourself.
( though your results may vary. I ordered a new one $ 21., and repaired
my old one as a spare.
