Abstract
An all plastic cap for an automotive power steering reservoir includes a cap portion and a central integrally molded stem portion, the latter having oppositely extending integrally molded stiffly resilient locking ears with an elastomeric gasket disposed within the cap such that the ears may engage a cam lip within the reservoir neck as the cap is turned with the ears drawing the cap into the neck and squeezing the gasket to effect the seal of the neck opening.
