Most times when I run my 2011 GT500 hard up to 90 of 100 mph I end up with a few droplets of fluid on the engine block . The fluid is coming from the IC reservoir and the cap is on tight. Is this normal? If it isn't what would be the fix?

Just replace the cap. Mine was making a hissing noise this summer and I couldn't see any defect to the cap or seal. I switched the cap over to the radiator reservoir and the noise followed with the switched cap. It was not holding pressure. I made a trip over to the local Ford Dealer and bought one over the parts counter. I think if was $11.00 or $14.00, I don't remember exactly.
Thanks 2010shelby,
The fluid is definately getting past the cap. I am not sure if its caused by too much pressure due to overheating or just a bad seal on the cap.
Its under warranty but I don't really want to tell the dealer what I have to do the car to make it leak out. I'll have to drop in after the fact next time and show them the fluid drops on the block.
