cap leaking: mine's doing it now too

-

So I have ~ 21k miles and had my 2nd inter-service oil top up (+1 qt) warning. I always carry some oil so I fill her up. I carefully re-seat the cap. All seems good.

Did drive it hard next day and then when I next pop the hood I see that a fine spray of oil has escaped around the cap - pooled below and some bounced off the underside of the bonnet - onto the LHS arm, engine cover. Damn!

Guess I will pop into the dealer to see if I have a gasket issue on the cap and/or get a new one.
