And make sure your cap is working properly.
If the cap builds too much pressure it can cause some problems.

ya they are all the same thing oil/water pump.
i think it could be the cap too. after i did the HG i noticed leaks at coolant hoses that were very snug. not too tight as to cut the hose but tight enough to where they shouldnt be leaking ( so tight i was worried of slicing the hose to fix said leaks), at that same moment nothing would be going into the overflow.
would it be safe to say that if the cap was faulty the first seals to go would be in the oil/water pump?
