my car has air in the cooling system, i have noticed that the coolant header tank has a hairline crack, when the system is under pressure it leaks out the crack, should i be looking for any other cause or just replace header tank and cap!

seems slightly hotter than usual but not overheating, car is holden vectra 2000, tank would be about 13 years old, and is discoloured around the crack, tank has the crusty white from where the coolant has been leaking

Its probable that air is being sucked in through the crack when the engine cools and pressure drops. May as well get the tank replaced and go from there, need to anyway.
