does it release pressure?

Retest but leave the cap uncovered. does it bubble like mad?

Are there any signs of oil in the water ( not water in oil ) ?
sorry for sounding dim...but expansion vessel?

It does indeed bubble like mad when cap is off.

And releases a lot of pressure if the cap is on. It is so hard to turn the cap to get it off. I have turn the cap little by little to avoid water burning my hand.

Theres a loud gurgling sound when that happens.................

No sign of oil in water at all.
