Radiator Cap

[LS1218]

Where can I find one that fits 05 Lincoln LS

Tasca, FordPartsGiant, you local dealer, or a few hundred other places. Get the Ford OEM one, not the Doorman one.

There's an engine fill cap, and the degas bottle cap. Be sure you get whichever of those two that you need.

Does air get introduced into the system by removing the engine fill cap?

 

[LS1218]

Its the degas bottle cap and I'm considering replacing the bottle as well. I have small coolant leak and the mechanic told me its the cap

A little.

Yes, I would replace the degas bottle and the cap. It's much more likely that the leak is from the bottle than the cap.

Just updated...The radiator cap did not fix the problem as expected and the radiator fan still comes on after about 20 minutes of street driving. Also I still notice some coolant on the ground when I turn the car off. I turned my A/C on Max heat and the radiator fan would slowly turn off so I'm guessing that would rule out the Fan Relay needing a replacement which Wheel Works suggested. Currently waiting on my degas bottle replacement to arrive to change that out, hopefully it works.

That would be a neat trick. There is no fan relay on the gen II LS.
