I noticed mine doing the same thing so I added plumbers tape to the threads and that worked for a while until recently. I just last week took the tape of and cleaned it off then carefully rotated the cap counter clockwise until it made a click then tightened being careful not to over tighten. Same procedure used for coolant cap. Someone on this forum recommended this procedure when tightening the bolts for the bleeder valve on the coolant tank which are seated in plastic which you dont want to cross-thread. Great top tip....thanks to this forum..What is a top tip anyway? The tall guy on Wheeler dealer says it.
