You can check the coolant levels without opening the radiator cap, right?

If there is an inherent leak present then you really should have that inspected. Otherwise you're going to end up with a mental disorder worrying about it.

These sub-systems are built to be reliable. If they lose their reliability, then there is something wrong. If there's something wrong -fix it the right way.
