Hi guys, I have a small oil leak down the right the of my oil filler cap, topside. Should I just replace the cap, or is there something else to look for?

Thanks!
Just go to Duval's and order a new cap. It is very cheap, around $5.00. The gasket alone is less then $2
remember the oil filter cap has a big o-ring on it thats changed when changing the filter. that is what causes the leak from the cap. change the o-ring. if the cap is cheap enough, replace it too.

Thats why I had to edit my post above you, he's talking about the filler cap not filter cap. I made the same mistake
I had the same issue however after replacing the cap i still had a leak. i had to replace the neck as well. to remove tilt forwards towards you and then spin left.
Yep guys, it's the oil filler cap not the filter... I'll try your suggestions and replace the cap first, then if I still see a leak I'll see about the neck (have to look into that one, didn't realize there was a neck)
Finally got around to replacing the cap w/gasket, was only $8 and change from a dealer. Wiped everything clean, will check for leaks after putting in a few miles this weekend.
