rivit it back together with a new(er) seal??
Todd- I had same problem with a deformed gasket inside the cap.  I 
drilled out the old rivet and removed the old gasket.  One of our 
members here of the British Motorcar Club of Sothern New Mexico owns a 
picture frame shop, and has a laser mat cutter.  I took him a piece of 
gasket material, he cut me a new one (gasket, that is).  I then 
re-attached it with a very small bolt, (#10 X 1/4 inch, I think) a 
washer on the gasket side, a nyloc nut and some threadlocker red.
Two years, no problems.
