oil cap

So my oil cap is leaking on my n225 causing oil to drip down to my exhaust and make a wonderful smell. Lol. I found a new cap on ecs website but iam wondering if i can just get a new gasket. Heard its supposed to be replaced. Any ideas where to get one or should i just get a new cap. Thanks

If you're sure it's only the cap, just replace it and not worry about aftermarket gaskets. Hope you are able to get it resolved ASAP and clear the area, oil smoke is pretty nasty and unhealthy.

Keep an eye on the valve cover gasket too once the cap is replaced, as that's the more usual "exhaust dripper".
