Oil coming out of cap

Alright guys. I recently got my car finished and it is a blast to drive. But I am having oil come out of the fill cap. Yes you read right. Out of the cap.
Is there a replacement that fits tighter than the OEM cap?

The gasket on the cap is replaceable. When they get old they shrink and aren't as tight.

If you have a new gasket and the problem still occurs the cap isn't the problem, it's a symptom.

You could be having high crank case pressure.

do you have a catch can? Do you have a hose going to your intake from the valve cover or?

I swapped my stock cap with a buddy and It seems to be doing much better.
I also got the opinion of a local evo owner who has built and done more than I could imagine. He suggested a catch can setup and that's what I am going to do.
I am going to run the STM kit so the pcv valve will be gone shortly.

You may want to get your buddy's consent before you give him a high five in the *** but please do pass along our gratitude lol.

High five I can see. Slap on the *** I can see.
A high five in the *** sounds like you are fisting him though. I can't approve of that.


Also.... called the cap gasket in post #2
