Default L-82 oil cap

does anyone make one that DOSEN'T weep oil?

not sure if it's just the magnesium style on my L-81, but looking for a good cap. I think I have the Mr. Gasket brand cap on there now.

Does it have the rubber seal on it?

the new cap fits nice and tight. the old one had a loose fit and weeped oil, not much but enough that you could see a stain on the valve cover. The GM one is perfect. I don't think I'll have any issues with this one. Now If I could only find some SF rated oil still.
