Any ideas

Check on the rubber sealing ring for any debris make sure its clean, if in doubt fit a new cap.

should be fairly generic i'd have thought - take yours to your local car parts store?

Radiator caps are pretty universal - I think this is what I fitted on the NC29 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CRF150 ... SwxxdZaPTG
but check the dimensions in the listing
