Well that's ruled out the cap then!

It appears that you have a defective seal somewhere in the system. It will be tricky finding it but start with the basics:
  • Hose clamps
  • Is the bleeding screw loose? (Don't go mad and overtighten it.)
  • What about the plastic elbow at the top corner of the radiator; doesn't that sometimes crack?
