Oil Filler Cap Gasket Leaking :-( 700 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be Thomas on  Fri Nov 10 20:14 CST 2000 [RELATED]

My oil filler cap gasket leaks enough that oil drips all over the side of the engine. My first impression was that I had a leaky valve cover or someting, but after cleaning the engine pretty well and re-checking, it seems that the cap seal is the culprit. Is this a problem with most/all of these engines?

.

Is the cap seal a dealer only item that costs as much as a muffler-bearing at one of those crooked garages? Or is it a common $.05 part that you can get at WallMart? Thanks again, and sorry for the (although not to me) trivial post.
