Yes, the oil cap should have an o-ring.

Oil Filler Cap
After replacing the PCV valve/cover for the third time I'm finding an oil leak on the top edge lip of the cover. It appears to be coming from the vicinity of the oil filler cap. In looking at posts and in parts catalogs for these caps, some say there should be a gasket that goes with the cap cover? There does not appear to be any sort of gasket on mine which seems odd. Does anyone know for sure if it has one? I know I should just go get a new cap and be done with it, but I want to know since Chevy re-did the valve cover last, they would have put on a cap minus the gasket.
Thanks

If you put the O ring on the cap and torque to spec 18ft. lbs. the O ring will pop out the side Don't use an O ring.
