It is very rare for that cap to leak simply because it has a bad seal. More likely you have excessive crankcase pressures. This can be caused by a bad PCV Valve, leaving the fording valves closed, or severe piston ring wear allowing excessive blowby .

Yes, if the valve is installed in the correct position and the handle installation is indexed correctly.

Is the valve clean and clear inside? Don't forget the other valve too.
