oil leak at fill hole

I have a 2004 CL that is leaking at the oil fill hole. I have replaced the cap and the o ring that is attached to the cap and it still leaks. There is a plastic part that fits in the cylinder head cover that the cap screws into. Does this part just pop out to be replaced? I don't see any threads on the new one that I just bought. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave
 
There are 2 o-rings - the one you've already replaced plus one under the plastic bit the cap screws into. Just pop out (carefully) that plastic piece to access the other one. For best results replace the o-rings in pairs. No need to replace the cap itself.
