I have an oil leak that I am trying to figure out. I have read several posts on replacing the oil filter housing gasket but before I take that task, I thought I would see if anyone else is getting oil on the top of the oil cap and PS resevoir too. I have purchased a new cap from my dealer and cleaned it up but the next couple of days, oil is over them again. I am looking to make sure it isn't something else before spending 4 hrs replacing the gasket.

Suggestions welcomed of course.
