Can you seal a leaky power steering reservoir?

I have a question about the cap is there supposed to be a rubber gasket on the cap? mine just has a hard plastic.

Yes, the OEM cap has a rubber seal. At least mine does

The seal USED to be soft rubber. But 20 years later it often gets hard as a rock. John

I ended up braze welding my pipes and I have separated the top and re sealed with Rtv.

After a 1000 mile off road trip, the jb weld repair is holding nicely. I am still seeing fluid, only now outside the cap. Anyone replace the cap? Part #? or repair the seal?
Thanks

Still holding up? Figured I’d tackle this during the pandemic.

It finally gave up so I bought a used one and replaced it. It lasted for a long time with the fix though.
