A new cap is like $5. Just replace it. The gasket is probably worn out by the sound of it.

My daughters Durango had that problem, it was fixed with a new cap. My Dakota however, had a leak in the filler tube. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to change the part out. A few screws and it unplugs like an air tool fitting. Part wasn't real expensive either.
