Default engine oil cap

Hi, I need to replace engine oil cap due to oil leaking from the cap.
I also need to buy power steering fluid reservoir.
Do I have to dealership to buy it or anyone knows online shop? I have searched a couple of online shops, but they don't sell both items.

Thanks in advance.

Default there are a couple of people here parting out cars and you can also use car-part.com

The salvage yards may not list those parts, but search for another part of your car and call the yards.<ul><li><a href="http://www.car-part.com">http://www.car-part.com</a</li></ul>

Are you sure you need a new cap and not just a new rubber gasket?

Default a comment....

Just drop by the dealer and pick up a cap seal. There is no need to replace the whole cap. In fact, I just replaced the one on our 30v. They run about $2-3. If your getting oil blowing out of that cap seal you might consider checking the pcv in the crankcase breather hose(about $80). If it gets clogged, the internal crankcase pressure goes up and you'll start to get oil leaks, especially on the top side of the engine. The Power Steering tank is not that pricey($40), you might check with Carson at Riverside Audi, purems.com, or ecstuning.com. Its worth getting Pentosin 11s p/s fluid online as well.
