if you use a sealant on the cap it may make it hard to undo get the new cap and screw it on and see what happens and most of the leaking issues are cause by o rings perishing
I was gonna try to "fill it" with some gasket maker and let it cook off first before fitting the cap. I was thinking I could smear some ATV or similar over it and kinda shape it with a rag and small hard straight edge. In theory, at least in my head it should hold and set off and allow the cap to seal?. Never done it before but I suppose the other option is plastic steel stuff. Pretty sure a mechanic did it once to my old car with the welsh/frieze plug that gave way, he scored the surface accidentally and I think rubbed in ATV or plastic steel and let it set off before re-fitting the new plug.
