yeah, its just a breather to allow moisture to escape, not sure if it would be a good idea to seal it up permanently tho, just around the cap should suffice

a friend of mine sprays silicone on the cap and rubs it in. its the liquid lubricant type. rtv should work fine around the base of the cap and i would leave the vent on top open since it has the rubber thing on it.
