Default Windshield washer leak

I recently bought and purchased a set of chrome engine caps from DJ Motorsports. Love them by the way. The windshield washer tank caps fit extremely tight. It has a o-ring seal on it. The few times that I have driven it I notice a puddle under the car driver side. This fluid is coming from the nozzles at the wipers. The fluid then runs along the cowl and down next to the hood latch down to the ground. I'm thinking that with the tight seal from the cap expansion is causing pressure to push washer fluid out. I think it needs to be vented. I don't want to drill a hole in chrome cap, so what if I drill a small hole in washer tank. I'm talking 1/64 drill. Any ideas to help me out would be appreciated. Tom
