The cap is only there to keep dust out. If the Schrader valve is leaking, either the valve core is loose or damaged. You have to tighten the core or replace it. Do NOT rely on the cap to keep it from leaking.

Be careful when working around the Schrader valve. It is only swaged onto the hard line, and will break off very easilly.
