overfill reservior
The threads on the cap of the overfill reservior are allowing antifreeze solution to escape. Where can I buy another reservior? I've already checked a couple of junk yards here in the Atlanta area. I have a 95 Honda Accord. Thanks

That cap isn't supposed to be airtight anyway.
Does it keep overflowing? You may have other problems. Coolant is supposed to move into that bottle when the engine warms up. It's also supposed to suck back into the radiator as the engine cools off. A bad radiator cap can make it NOT suck back in. Then it keeps overfilling it while the actual radiator goes dry.
The worse possibilities are things like a bad headgasket or cracked block or head.
