Sounds like you are pressurizing the cooling system since it shows up when you get on it... more than likely a bad head gasket... what does your engine/power adder combination consist of?

I had the same issue my rad cap wasnt even holding 5 psi and the tank overfilled many times. However being the paranoid person I am and with the car having 100k I decided to do head gaskets and lifters cuz I thought I had a lifter tap which was infact piston slap. Anyway after taking the motor apart I couldnt find any bypass on the gaskets and the motor wasnt burning coolant. But hey atleast I got redone heads and gaskets out of it. Is the motor burning coolant, missing at all, or have a milky substance in the valve covers?

Forgot to tell, the PS fluid sometime gets into the rad by the PS cooler and couldve caused this cap crap thing. Check your PS fluid for any brownish liquid in there. If its a yes, you got a coolant leak in the PS reservoir and PS fluid in the rad...
