Ok I never pulled mine out and looked at it so I shouldn't assume it was a o-ring, but unless the "gasket" is made of some secret material, engineering one shouldn't be hard. I'm not convinced you have a leak though and it is normal operation. The reservoir cap is designed to bleed off excess oil if it getting too full and it's a vented system. Here is the info directly from the Rotrex handbook
3. Check the supercharger oil level after initial start up. Always follow the correct procedure for oil level
check: Rev the engine to 2-3000 rpm, then check the oil level at idling. Overfilling will cause
the breather cap to leak. The correct oil level is between the min and max marking of the
dipstick measured with the thread of the cap fully engaged. Check the oil level regularly.
