If you have a radiator pressure test kit, you can pressure test the cap to see if it holds 15psi. If not, you can look on the underside, the gaskets should be pliable and not deformed. If in question, replace it. Not sure what year your car is, but caps for my 1976 are $5.50 from IPS. I posted a picture of the one I have on my car. This one is nice because it doesn't cut into the plastic tank as you tighten it. Some caps have a sharp edge on the underside lip and cut the expansion tank under the lip as you tighten it, kind of hard to explain in a post, but this cap goes on without damaging anything.
