If your cap is tight, you need a new one.

The little hose under the cap is for the overflow. If that's the hose you're talking about, then the cap isn't holding pressure.

That one will have pressure. Put a new clamp on it and see if it seals. If not, a new hose may be in order.

All joke on the side though, I looked this pipe up and it’s called an air bleed pipe. Makes me wonder where does it connect to??
