Question MY2001 Power steering resorvoir leak

Hi
Got a slight leak from around plastic reservoir. Dripping down on to x-member above exhaust and causing burning smell.
Took off reservoir recently and it looks sound - replaced the two original spring type hose clips with jubilee clips as hose seemed quite rigid. Thought this would give a better seal - however still seems to be leaking. At first I thought it was coming from the bottom of reservoir (hence replace hose clips) but as reservoir is now clean it seems like the oil originating from the cap and running down outside. Cap seemed quite a flimsy fit - any thoughts. Not a serious problem (yet!) - just annoying.
Many thanks
