Reservoir Cap Color B230FT cars - Poll 900 1994

My 1994 945T has coolant leaks springing up in a few places, all are slight weeps but very concerning considering I just did a head gasket on this car over the summer. I'm thinking my expanstion tank cap may be faulty and/or too high of a pressure rating for the car. I've been running with a green cap (and leaking) but have just put on the black cap from my GT which is in storage for the winter...will see if it leaks at the same rate or stops.

So, a poll for all 700/900 Turbo owners:

1) What color cap are you using?
2) If different than the original cap, why did you choose to change and has it had any adverse effect on the car?

The only other, comparable, data point that I have is my '89 765T which is running with a grey cap. This is what was on it when I acquired it.

Thanks,
Bean
