Oil Cap/Dipstick...

So I am having trouble with a coolant leak where all signs point to the water pump leaking/on its way out. I have been adding about a cup or so every couple of days or less. (When will I get the 6 hours to fix?!) Adding fluid a couple of days ago, I noticed bubbling coming from the top-right (when looking from the front) of the ?exhaust manifold?/?header pipes?. I had just started the engine, and looking with engine off, etc., the area does look soaked/stained. I will try to post a picture tonight. From search - valve cover gasket?
My real concern right now is that in doing so, I was checking the oil this morning. (it's time for another change, but I haven't had the time in the past couple of days - hopefully tonight) When tightening the cap, I wasn't paying attention and it was early, the cap cracked/exploded in two. That is some spring under there! From search - has happened a few times. Will try the dealer for the part.
What adverse affects might I have without the cap being tightened down? Should I try tape (would get gooey) or something to hold it down as a patch?
Thanks all.
