another degas problem????

My 04 runs great and has been doing this for a few weeks.....after shut off leaking coolant from degas bottle, thought it was a bad clamp and replaced..only leaks when truck is not running, I think there must be a crack in the plastic? Is there more pressure after you shut the truck down that would cause it only to leak after shut down?

Typically it'll heat up just a bit right after shutdown.you probably do have a crack in the bottle.have seen more than one post with cracked degas bottles.
