Question about overfill tank

How tight are you guy's cap on your overfill tank? Mind seems to be very loose and sometimes works itself half off. And my coolant is actually evaporating (NOT BUBBLING) because I see a stream of coolant coming from the cap and running down the side of the tank. Do you think I need to replace my overfill tank?

threads?

thanks for the reply kid...

My tank is a push-on cap. Do I just put tape around the tank lip to make it fit tighter?
 
If coolant is coming out the top of the overflow tank, you filled it too high.

It should only be to the fill line which is at least 1/2 down the bottle.
 
coolant is filled halfway

Yep. Verified that. Thanks. The cap is really loose. It is just evaporation. I opened the hood and reved the engine to see how much the level fluctuates. Minimal.
