Pressure causing leak on radiator overflow

I am throwing no codes on the A2 check. I am pretty sure its not the bottle. The next morning after the engine is cold there is still pressure in the bottle. When I open it, it sounds like a bottle of soda, which it never used to do. If there was a leak in the bottle, I think the pressure would be gone before morning. Also, the bottle itself is starting to bulge some form the pressure. I have been watching the temp gauge, it heats up pretty fast and I have heat after about a quarter mile in the morning so I don't think the thermostat is stuck open. I guess it could be stuck shut. The engine coolant temp sensor would make sense as the culprit.

Thanks
