Jim,
You bring up a good point. My baby originally was a 1600cc fuel injected
(FI), thus it had the active charcoal filtering system. When the mechanic
converted my power plant to a carburated 1641cc the filter was left on the
car but not attached to the carbs and possibly plugged. It's one of those
things I should fix, one of these days when I can get a garage...

The OEM cap is also a non-vented cap (that's what "ohne luftung" means) so
the old cap had probably been leaking at the seal since you said it was in
sad shape.
The vent system that came on your car is quite adequate until one of the
steel lines fills up with rust. I recommend fixing the clogged vent system
over drilling a hole in your cap. It is all easily accessible after you
remove the trunk liner.
