Cam cover plug

This blank off plug on my 01 V70 slightly leaks and was wondering if they are available to be replaced. I'm still pulling negative pressure on my PCV system, so I guess that helps. Is it something that gets replaced ?
Thanks, Rob

have you looked under the plastic cover yet ?

I've been in there over the years. It tends to leak back towards the exhaust manifold, not under the cam plastic cover.

I found the "cap" on the Smyth Volvo site. #1361451 They are $5.66, so I might get one or two in case the thing starts leaking bad. Mine looks like its corroded, and I was always afraid of cleaning it up and making it leak worse.
I'm not touching it unless I have to. lol
