The peculiar noise those make always gets my attention. Especially while they are cooling, maybe 10 min after shutting off the motor. The rad hoses are not firm then, so I figure the cap is admitting air into the system as the coolant contracts some. A head gasket problem that would blow through the pressure cap would most likely make the hoses firm well before the normal warm up time for the coolant - before the radiator got warm.
