Default Power Steering Reservoir

Does anyone else have a loose cap on their power steering pump reservoir?Mine doesn't lock on,it keeps turning,not tight at all.
If so,does anyone know of a quick fix ?
Thanks

My 67 full size wagon has that issue, haven't tried to fix it but I'm interested in ideas people might have.

I had the same problem with the pump cap on my 67, I used some rubber gasket material and cut one the same size and shape as the original and was able to stretch it over the two locking tabs inside the cap, same result as jd66, two gaskets took care of the problem.
