Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have an Eclipse GT 2001, Was replacing cap and rotor, noticed lots of corrosion. when I put the cap back on i noticed that i can put my finger in the cap from the back side. Shouldn't it be sealed?

1 Answer

yes it's mounted correctly. with it open like that any and all moisture or containminates can enter. most caps are sealed to prevent moisture from corroding.
