Default coolant header tank issues

Coolant appears to be leaking through the seam of the header tank on my '93 wrx Anybody ever had this before? Is it a common thing or is something really strange happening to my car? It does have a Cusco high pressure cap.

Cheers for that, I'll stop worrying that I've got head gasket issues now.

Buy an alloy metal one, not another plastic one. Will cost more (about £50-60 for a 'non-bling' one) but will last much much longer.


p.s I have an alloy metal one for sale

If you're feeling flush, the forge ones are upwards of £120. Very nice though.
