My top rad cap has started leaking, I did take it off to check level and put it back on, this is when it started to leak
Any ideas

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

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
