Why do you have oil around your filler cap? It wont be obvious that oil is leaking out of your filler cap. It has happened to me before. I replaced the elbow, still had oil around the elbow. Replaced the filler cap, oil gone for a while. The cap is cheap, gasket even cheaper. Oil comes out the blow hole whether gas or diesel. It just happens. Another possibility is that you have a blow hole that is removable. You could be missing a gasket or it could be loose.
