For those that fear a radiator leak remember this
you guys realize that by having a 'zero pressure' cap the fluid will boil at a much lower temperature and not cool the engine worth ****? There's a reason the cooling system is pressurized.

The boiling point of coolant under zero pressure is higher than the self-destruct temperature of the engine.
With a properly operating thermostat and water pump, there should be sufficient pressure in the engine block to prevent localized boiling.
