Well cold/at idle the reservoir is pretty much full. This morning I cleaned up the areas around the cap but I have yet to see any residue. There was some residue there before but I think it go there from when we spilled a bit of coolant when we were filling the system. I'll keep my eye on it though. I'll also be checking all the other areas a little later (I also hope that I don't have to replace the radiator a 3rd time.....) The reservoir low level indicator sensor did send false signals a few years ago but we took it out and cleaned it and it has been fine since.
My main concern is why there is pressure on the system while the car is running and the related annoyance that the light only seems to kick on under highway acceleration.
