- Check that your Aircon condensor fans are coming on, if car getting hot these should cut in regardless of aircon on or not.
- How is the viscous fan, can you hear it make alot of noise at startup when cold, should be making this exact same noise if getting hot.
- Check between the condensor coils and the radiator, there is a gap of about 1/2 inch and sometimes crud builds up in there causing poor airflow.
- The above are the easy ones you can check yourself, hope it' not a liner or head gasket to have these tested, unless you have correct tools you best take it to garage to diagnose, should'nt cost much.

You best be elimin8 all of the external possibilities first, then if that not fix it, get it tested at garage before you unnecessarly start pulling motor apart.

firstly check the o rings on bottle cap, swap em round.
tighten cap up very hard,
if its still doing it and the little pipe runs freely get a hydrocarbon test done!
