RobertJohn,

Cracking of the degas bottle is not a known issue to the best of my knowledge. That being said the bottle is plastic so it could crack for several different reasons.

Do not know the cost of a new bottle, you can go to discount ford parts (FTE sponsor) website and find out the cost.

Hope this helps

The reseviors do crack. Not too often, but still do nonetheless. If it's blowing out around the cap, I'd say you have something else going on.

There was a TSB to not fill the Degas bottle to the max line but the min line. This stopped mine from leaking.
