Sorry haven't looked into it since mines not leaking so figured I'd ask

Ya that's part of it. In addition, depending on the mileage, the VC can have shrunk a little which will reduce the service life of the gasket repair. I personally didn't like the idea of this particular hack repair so I opted to replace my VC when I did the gasket (55k miles).
If I was under 50k miles I'd reuse the cover. |
Where can you buy just the cap? I did a quick search and only found one place and the site is ghetto and sketchy looking.
