The level will always rise when you undo the cap after the engine has been running.

If there are no external leaks and the temp is stable I don't think you have a problem.

Just keep an eye on it.
When its cooled down, make sure the level is spot on, then keep an eye on the level.
If it keeps dropping then you will have to locate the leak and rectify.
