Yeah that's what I had always assumed...someone on this ng though
said their Saturn had a radiator cap.
The past couple days I've had more radiator fluid on my garage floor,
I think I'm going to have to crawl under the car & see where it's coming
from--

Check the gasket on raditor cap and on over fill. If the gasket leaks, it
might be running out the cap before it goes to over flow.

I have the same problem with my lights, but there is no fluid leaking. Will
flushing the radiator help?
