I think you should make sure the radiator is filled to the neck, do this when fully cold.
Fill the expansion tank to the full line, again, do when fully cold, otherwise you'll end up with the information you'd head about not filling it.
Not sure what cap you have, or why, but a regular cap for mine cost 4 or 5 from amazon and that was for a nice Gates cap.
Also, i see yours is the 2.3l but on mine, the overflow/expansion pipe running from the rad neck to the tank, had lost it's seal, so under pressure, i'd get weeping from both the underside of the expansion tank, as well as the rad neck. I just put jubilee clips on both connections, no more problems.
