Mine has also developed a leak. Been trying to find out if its the cap, banjo seal, or the housing itself. I cant get it to leak when I watch it, only notice it after driving for awhile...
Moparoverstock has them for about $325.00

I see mine dripping from the bottom of the housing, also I can't tell where it's coming from. order a used housing on ebay for $85. going to get down into it today and tear things apart. will let you know what I find.

First make sure the Yellow water drain valve is completely in the Off position. If That is not it make sure your Gasket on the lid is seated correctly and tightened correctly.

found it! after removing the inner fender it was easier to see. It was a bleed off line that connected to a rubber line to the tank, the back of filter canister, then to the back of the engine, that was a bear to get to. thought my canister was leaking, because that's were I saw the drip, however it was a very fine spray from the line spraying onto the filter canister.
