Rubber oil cap woes

Has anyone , especialy guys with modifeid E engines found that the rubber oil cap does not do a good job at keeping the oil inside the engine.

On my Sentra the car will run very dry (no oil leaks) for weeks on end. However just one fast run where I am downshifting and reving to the limit and oil trickles past the oil cap. Now I know you will say I have blow by , worn rigns and all that, but the car does not lose any significant amount of oil. I change oil every 3000 miles and that`s it, no fil ups in between. Also no oil is being burned (my pearly white exhaust will tell you that)

My only conlusion is that the oil cap is not sealing as it should. Can I find a better one? Where?

Blown how does the rubber oil cap do on your high compresion E16?
