Default Sti header tank

Hi all. Just notice last few days that my 53 plate sti header tank appears to be ever so slightly leaking around the neck the cap screws on to. Has anybody else had this trouble and can anyone point me in direction to get new one. Thankyou

you can just unbolt the lid and reseal then put bavk together rather than looking for another, but am sure there are plenty on the bay if looking for another one

It's above the seal part that's leaking mate. At bottom off the neck cap fits on

Yes ive had the pipe nearest the filler neck crack and leak. Are you using heat spacers from manifold to header tank? I was. Only 5mm ones used with manifold spacers too. When launching my header tank was just touching the bonnet and overtime caused the pipe to crack. Ebay for a second hand replacement

Yes mine did exactly the same. Subaru discontinued the metal one and replaced it with a much smarter looking plastic one.
