I just did the same thing, bought the 2 caps, not knowing for sure which was which by looking at the BD site. It turns out that there are 2 different thread-pitch sizes, and mine is the wider spaced pitch, and it works fine. I could tell by crawling under the van a looking at the drain pipe threads which cap would work. If you put both caps on, you may have altered that thread pitch just enough that using the larger-pitched cap (I also have an '87) that it now leaks a little. I'd suggest addiing another rubber gasket inside the cap to allow the cap to be tightened a little more, appllying so much pressure to that new gasket, that the drain pipe can't leak. Both of the caps I got from BD had rubber gaskets in them. Take the one out of the cap you don't use, add it to the cap you will use so that there ar 2 in there, and see if that does the trick. bob
