As said above, the gasket for the cap is in the buy parts, about $2.50.

when I remove the cap, I set it on a rag right side up. then wipe off the bottom real well.
then before replacing it, I wipe off the valve cover, and screw it down.

I replaced mine about 4yrs ago, and I now get some weeping if I put it on one way,

I do a 180, and no leak. they do get cooked and dry out in time. so, the next order I`ll order a couple along with the rubber elbo next to it.
