Default Oil Filler Cap

In an attempt to lessen my oil loss, I bought a new oil filler cap. The old one leaked like crazy, and so does this one. There is a rubber seal on it, but it doesn't seal. Adding another small seal on it wont allow it to fit. Anyone else have this issue? Is it that something on my valve cover itself has worn down over time?

I bought one from Autozone, cost around $4. Leaks. I bet an OEM one would work better.
