Ahhh, he knows how to take a look... He just wants an idea of how much the engine is breathing, if his is normal.
You only want a little bit, too much is due to engine wear, rings ect. Sounds like you have a bit of a cooling sys problem, you should have some kind of pressure in there even with a slightly warm engine, at 100c you should be getting serious pressure with burns to match. =) First things I would do, replace/repair the gauge and sender and get a new cap.
