I have a quick question regarding my leaky rear CCT cap. I took the cap off earlier and a thin plastic washer fell off with it, I didn't have another plastic washer so I replaced it with a copper crush washer of a similar size. Is it OK to use a copper crush washer here or is there a reason a plastic washer was used?

Hopefully this has sorted out the leak as the oil was somehow getting from the CCT and then covering my chain and left side of swing arm in oil making a right mess.

Any heads up on the noise described above would be good. Thanks.
