I'll ask a mod to move to S-Type forum.

Might be a head gasket fault - do some checks.

Welcome to the forum Meg Tap,

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to S-Type forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

Please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST forum and post some info about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see. In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice about posting to the forum.

Welcome aboard, Meg Tap!

Frequently mistaken for a cap leak is a crack on the bottom of the nipple coming off the cap neck. Fix is a replacement reservoir. Not sure about the 2.5L as we don't have that model in the states, but from the books, it seems a very similar powerplant to the 3.0L, so would imagine the coolant tank is the same.

If this is not your problem, just stand by....you will eventually be replacing the reservoir because it leaks from somewhere.
