I'm guessing the answer to this question is going to be pretty simple and that this is a pretty stupid question, but I like to check with those with more experience before jumping to conclusions.

I am usually very careful when I fill with oil to prevent any spills, and I clean it up if I do get a couple drops there.

It looks like I have fresh oil stains around the filler neck cap and my guess is that the solution is to replace the filler neck cap.

If it is indeed the filler neck cap that needs replacing, I seem to recall hearing or reading somewhere that there is an updated version.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm guessing the answer to this question is going to be pretty simple and that this is a pretty stupid question, but I like to check with those with more experience before jumping to conclusions. It looks like I have fresh oil stains around the filler neck cap and my guess is that the solution is to replace the filler neck cap. I have attached an image for your reference. Possible oil stain around the filler neck. IT has looked like this for maybe 6 months now and I had been focused on other things. I just wanted to confirm that's what this looks like to you, or if this staining is normal? I am usually very careful when I fill with oil to prevent any spills, and I clean it up if I do get a couple drops there. This seems like a lot as opposed to the couple drops I rarely spill. If it is indeed the filler neck cap that needs replacing, I seem to recall hearing or reading somewhere that there is an updated version. Would anyone mind pointing me to that new model cap so I make sure I get the correct one? Any help or information is greatly appreciated, thanks for reading!

It looks like this, part #996.107.035.52. I think the yellow version works better though.
