    Hey all. I am looking at my oil fill cap on my 2003 pre runner and it doesn't have a gasket. is this normal? also out of curiosity I checked the power steering fill cap and it doesn't either. I appreciate any info. couldn't find anything in my searches. Thanks in advance!

    The gaskets might be dry and shrunk

    Mine doesn’t seem to have them either. I recall looking into it a while back and I think I found that they didn’t have gaskets in the first place. Could be wrong though

    There should be one. I replaced mine for the heck of it when I did my valve cover gasket job.

    They are in the Engine - Cylinder Head section on parts.toyota.com.

    Edit:
    I don't see one on the PS cap (but that doesn't mean it's not part of the cap itself):

    They both should have a seal. Only the Oil Cap has a separate one.
