Do you have the plastic cap? I put 2 gaskets in the cap- worked for a while, but did not fix it. Got a new cap (it was plastic) from the dealer- again, short term fix. Finally got a used metal cap on ebay, and it has been absolutely spanking clean since then!
I just checked- there are a couple of metal caps on ebay- $16 and $30 bucks; i got mine for $5
