Might be just that simple too!
Cut some out of a nice soft silicone rubber sheet.

Guess I need to look further. I have inspected my caps- the gaskets are in good
condition, and I have even repositioned (bent back) the two arms that secure the
cap to the neck in case there was some wear. Still, not 100% effective.

now) and a bit of blowby- leakage of pressure from the valves, etc. through the
tops of the heads- causing a higher pressure than ordinarily. High pressure and
oil getting tossed about under the valve covers can cause an oil leak. Hope I'm
wrong, I am often.
