Default Is it common on the 2.8L for oil to leak from the oil filler cap?

Mine seeps out from the oil filler cap area. I noticed this the first time when I changed out my valve cover gaskets but figured it was because of the shot VC gaskets.
I noticed this again yesterday while looking for a vacuum leak.
I ordered a new cap and gasket but wanted to know if anyone else has come across this as well and if it's common.

Thanks.
