If that is where the leak is the cap gasket will need an ID of approx 1.25 inches. No idea what might have been used with any of the other fittings. Just pull the whole thing and find out exactly what or where the problem lies.

For a new one you might take the cap to Napa and see what they have in some hard fiber rings or gaskets. Not sure exactly what the composition is but most likely equal to typical hard gasket paper. The cap size is probably similar to what other mfgs used and you may be able to cross reference to modern. If you can't find it then Kanter should have some. When you replace the cap make sure there are no burrs or sharp edges on either sealing surface that would damage the new gasket.

McMaster has something that will work but they are sold by the box so you would need to order a quantity of 50 to get one.
