Re: Leaking Coolant Overflow Cap
"bdw18_123" is referencing the coolant "surge tank" up above the evaporator/heater module at the windshield.
The level indicator of your cap is missing and I'd think that likely provided the "escape route" for your coolant! Look at the coolant cap I linked to in an earlier post. That is what should be there.
The link now only goes to CC home page so enter any of these part #'s in the search block: 10239665, 244412 OR 14069687.
My cap has the stick and then it has 3 less than 1/8" holes for venting. Mine would have been new from GM in '03 I believe. If you want a non-vented cap with a gasket the cap from my '03 SSEi is a fit with a gasket but it does say "DEXCOOL". I believe most any cap on the GM dealer shelf would likely be a fit from anywhere in the '90's to maybe later.
