Harry, All my Nord engines had a rubber seal inside the cap, usually rock hard due to age. Try replacing this for a better seal. However things may be different on Spica cars.
Your engine may also be pressurising the sump so ensure any exhaust gas recirc components aren't blocked.

I have bent the tabs on the cap to tighten it. This effort slowed it down , but if I bend the tabs anymore, the cap will not turn. Does anyone know where to get a new seal, or have any ides how to correct this condition.
