I had this problem decades ago at a time when Halfords had a good selection of radiator caps. A few of these caps had a very thin, but wide, rubber gasket. A perfect size to fit on the underside of the cap. It has never leaked again. Rubber against rubber will always get a better seal than rubber to metal.
If you keep the cap 'locked' it pulls it down a fraction
