Oil Seeping Out of Filler Cap

Has anyone else seen oil seepage out of the oil filler cap? I've cleaned it up twice now. Its not a lot and is really just annoying. It looks like I can't put oil in without spilling it.

Check to see if the gasket on the oil cap isn't damaged. I always use a funnel when adding oil.<br><br>MikeyB

I've never had oil around the cap. 8000 miles and check the oil level a lot.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

Re:Oil Seeping Out of Filler Cap

No leaks around my cap and I have about 7500 miles on it. I agree with MikeyB, check the gasket and if it still leaks next time you are at the dealer complain about it.
