First off is this drain cap leaking constantly or is it just leaking when water is used. If it is constant it is indicating that the line is clogged and under pressure which is something that you will want to get a sewer and drain cleaning professional to deal with the problem. Trust me you don't want to remove the cap. If it is only leaking when water is running down the drain repair depends on what kind of cap it is and where ir is leaking, if the leak is through a hole in the cap or the threads of the cap removing the cap and replacing it or, resealing the threads with Teflon tape and or, teflon pipe thread sealing paste (pipe dope) is the way to go. If the adapter the cleanout plug threads into is leaking you will probably want to have a plumber take care of it. If the threads that the cleanout plug goes into are shot there are alternative ways to seal the opening, Lead Fitalls, Test plugs, Jiffy plugs and caps to name a few application varies on the pipes you have. You may want a plumber for this.

Does a leaking gas cap cause a fault in the emission vacuum system?
It can. The leaking gas cap is preventing the fuel tank to establish the proper positive pressure levels that the emission systems rely upon to operate correctly. A leaking gas cap will also cause the vehicle to fail its emissions tests. The leaking cap is also putting excess vapors into the environment. Replace that cap ... they are not that expensive.

Looking up from under the car, the drain is located on the bottom right and corner of the radiator. A large flat blade screwdriver will be needed to turn the drain cap and allow fluid to be released.
