I'm wondering about a home made gasket? Has anybody tried this?

This tank is not pressurized, right? Mine must not be since fluid is leaking out....
The cap isn't and never was ZR-1 specific BUT it is discontinued from GM. Corvette Central has new that appears to be correct for $7 - I'm sure there are others that have also. The tank is not pressurized.

I would investigate the hose connection to the surge tank, I believe it should be clamped.
