Losing oil from oil cap??
I was under my car last night doing many a things (Clutch/Alt.Belt/IAC/Wheel Studs/Low oil sensor connector) and I noticed some not so old oil around one of the pulleys. Which pulley it is I don't know, hope not water pump...but I traced it back up and it's coming from my oil cap! Anyone ever have this problem?

Yeah, I have that problem too. I searched somewhere and the site said to change the PCV Valve and I changed it but I looked the other day and there was oil around the area still. I'm thinking that it might be my oil cap now....what do you guys think?

I would replace the oil cap, the stock ones suck.

Same thing happened to me
Yeah, I was losing oil from my cap but was too cheap to buy a good aftermarket one. I got a cheap 5$ replacement and lost even more oil! I ended up taking the rubber gasket from the cheap one and putting over the gasket from the stock one. Much tighter seal and no more oil loss.
