Default Crack in overflow tank cap?

Well tomorrow I'm going up to Orlando. So I was checking my fluids and noticed that there was about an inch crack in the lid of the radiator resevoir. Should I worry about replacing this before the trip or is it ok? Will the inch long crack on the side of the lid affect the ability of the vacuum to do its job?

No, mine has been like that for over a year. It's nothing to worry about. Put a piece of tape on it for peace of mind.

OMG do not drive that car until you fix that!!! That can lead to serious overheating and your gauge won't even let you know that it's overheating because the seal is broken!! I hope it's not too late....











Hehe, just kidding. :P Nothing to worry about.
