Oil Filler Cap and Rack Dampner. No connection

I finally got tired of wiping oil from the weepy MB oil cap.
This one is easy to open and close and will never leak.



NEW TOPIC
I removed the Rack Damper only to find there was no spring in sight, this is bad I thought,then I discovered the spring is inside and pushed out to move the projecting tip.
After cleaning the threads so it would spin in my fingers I reinstalled with the engine hot, turned it in till I felt a little pressure. Then gave it one turn and the engine stopped rocking side to side. Reset the idle to a very smooth 750 RPM. Now when I shift into drive and turn on the AC the RPM is glued to 750, I originally suspected a frozen governor. See me smile!
