69 Coronet, 383 On full lock the power steering fluid is spraying out 1 side of the cap, I turned the cap the other way round and the spray is coming from the other side so it's obviously only 1 side of the cap that is the problem, is it a case of of just replacing the cap or is there anything else I can look for ? The seal looks ok on it, not sure if you can tell from the below pic, if I need to order a cap is there any particular one I need to get as I couldn't see any numbers on it ? The pump has some numbers on it, see below, also it says vented on the cap but where exactly is it venting as I can't see any holes, I assume the grooves are the vents ? Thanks

Looks like a cap for a Federal pump, not a Saginaw. Not available new, just NOS and used. https://www.jimsautoparts.com/steering_parts.htmScroll down you'll see it, not cheap at all.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Wasn't recommending Jim's, just showing it's there and it's not cheap.

I read a thread on FABO that someone was able to use a seal from a gas cap they had lying around to fix this problem. No more info than that though. You might take the cap to the parts store and see if any of the gas caps there could be a donor. Or you could go here and see if anything will work http://www.bestmaterials.com/sealing_washer.aspx
