Oil leaking out of the oil cap?

I noticed that at a slow rate there is oil collecting around the sides of where the oil cap goes. Is this normal? Should I get a new cap? I'm wondering if maybe there's too much pressure in there that's making the oil come out or something? Any help would be appreciated.

Look at the cap gasket for cracks and your PCV system for clogs.

I didn't see any cracks but it looks a little eaten up on the inside. I guess I'll just go buy a new one and see what happens.

Ok, I'll be looking into that then. I'd like to see the condition of mine. Out of curiosity though, if it's clogged, could that be a possibility for why you could have a P0411 cel code? I'm currently in the process of figuring out this PIA code!

Secondary Airflow? Wouldnt think so, I'd think that you prolly have a cracked hose somewhere.

I'm hoping that's what it is. I found a vac line that was disconnected yesterday. I hope that's the problem!
