The fuel cap is vented, although the venting passages are very small. If you could find a length of teflon tubing the same o.d. as the i.d. of the metal vent/overflow pipe, you could snake it down the overflow inlet and make a makeshift liner that would still provide venting while bridging the leaking area of the tube. Just a thought.
