For the 2010 to 2012 V6 Guys
Check your Radiator cap, if the gasket (O Ring) is flat change it.
Mine quit pulling the antifreeze back into the engine because no vacuum almost cost me an overheated engine

Do you mean compared to a tubular gasket?
Good save! Edit: thanks for uploading pictures.

Totally agree, check your caps. Mine also had a seal that was flattened and there was a tear in the other seal, if i remember correctly. I was happy I saw it before anything leaked.
My car is 2010 v6 LLT, 140k miles and 10 years old at the time when I replaced the cap. Looks like user 10camarodude had the same issue on this thread: link

Thank you so much for this tip!! I'm glad I randomly came across this thread. I ordered a new cap from Amazon and just installed it. The difference between the old cap and the new one was very obvious. The new cap even clicked into place differently after I fully screwed it in. I think more people need to be aware of this easy preventative maintenance.

I went ahead and purchased a new AC Delco one from Amazon just to be on the safe side.

Had to replace mine a few years ago on my SS. The O ring went flat.

Received my new radiator cap yesterday and while comparing the two, mine is actually flat as well rather than missing.
