Default Question about leaking oil fill cap...

Hey Guys,

My 1992 C4 is leaking a little oil from under the oil fill cap. Has anyone else had that problem? The cap seems to be hard plastic on the bottom with out any kind of rubber seal. Is this correct? Also, is there a cap for a different year that would fit and work better?
Thanks
Randy :chevy :chevy

Randy,

There should be a gasket under the oil cap.....from long usage and heat it hardens.....this is probably your problem.......get a new cap....maybe chrome....or just install a new gasket....
Hope this helps. Been there done that...
