Yesterday I learned one more thing to add to my pre-flight checklist,  
that others may wish to consider.  All along I've checked that the  
header tank cap is on tightly.  Since Glen's unscheduled landing,  
I've also looked into the vent hole.  But yesterday, holding short  
for take-off, I saw the vertical shaft of the header tank cap (the  
gauge part) waggling from side to side.  Seems that the vertical  
gauge part and horizontal cap part screw together, and their  
connection had come loose.  Taxied back, tightened it, all seems to  
be well now...but that's one more thing I'm going to be checking each  
time.
