D17 Power Steering Leak

Friend of mine has a leak on front power steering unit. Its where the breather should go. It appears he put a make shift breather cap on the unit. This cap how ever looks to be to short. it only inch and a half higher then unit. OEM version looks to be a breather tube about 6 inches high with breather cap on top. I told him his leaks beacuse its to low. Did I give him the right answer or is there something else going on hear with back pressure?
 
The OEM breather/cap isn't 6" tall, but taller would definitely be better than shorter.

The breather/cap needs to be sealed tight to the housing with a seal type(copper/fiber/plastic) washer. And the cap needs to breath at the top. So yes, I think you're on the right track.
