P/N for Power Steering Cap O-ring/seal

Got a small leak on my 2011 e70 Power steering reservoir cap, After looking around, I believe its the O Ring on the cap it self...

Does anyone here now the P/N for that O Ring/seal? I couldn't find it on Realoem

Thanks for your help!

I don't know the P/N you are looking for, but i believe many cars have that leak, it leave oil stains on the top side of the reservoir. I was told by the dealer that the cap has a venting feature for when pressure builds up inside the reservoir, so seeing oil there is normal. I don't know if this is true, but do wish others would chime in

I also came across that theory, but how come its happening now and never in last 3 years from the day I bought the car.

Im sure it the O-Ring seal on the cap. Thanks

here you go...

Available on Amazon there's a Viton version of the o-rings (I bet you the OEMs are Buna, that's why it deteriorates): http://redirect.viglink.com/?format=...%3BlibId%3Dj50...
