Oil leaking out of filler cap

[conza123]

My sr is leaking oil out the filler cap, is this normal or will I just need new one

Try a diff one off the other car but it could be pressure in the block or to much oil ?

Seals on the caps fail with age..

Though it could be a breathing issue or pressure in the crankcase as has been suggested...

I've just rebuild it with new rings rehoned bores so would there be a bit more pressure than normal if rings haven't bedded in yet

Yep, before when rebuild the oil breather filter used to smoke it's tits off now it's fine no heavy breathing smoke

I'd go with the seal.

You can change the seals, you can by new ones from Halfords and swap the seals or just fit another one from a scrappy...
