They have a version that actually is supposed to act as a seal.

Possibly, the valve may just need to be tightened.
These caps with a built in valve core wrench are available at almost any auto parts store and the auto accessory department of any big box store. I've seen some with a rubber gasket inside the cap and I think that's the type intended to slow or stop a valve leak.
