1990 OMC Cobra 5.7 each valve cover has bayonet style 1/4 twist style oil filler caps.
I have noticed oil residue on valve covers in the area of the oil filler caps.
I checked the original oil filler caps and they seem to not fit as tight as what I think they should.
The gaskets on the caps look OK but they don't seem to fit snug and seal when closed.
Can these caps wear out?
I went to NAPA and picked up a GM bayonet oil filler cap and this cap does fit more snugly and seems to seal.
But my question is should my OEM caps fit as loose as they do and when I replace the caps should I go with breather or the standard non breather style caps?
Thanks
