I assume you are referring to the cap on the fuel tank. The cap has a vent hole so the tank will not create a vaccum as it delivers duel to the engine. If the tank is half-full or more, vibration caused by using the implement will casue the fuel to "splash" within the fuel tank and also "splash" out trhough the vent hole. Check the inside of the fuel cap to see if the diaphragm is worn or missing and replace the cap if necessary.

Can you put a tube in a riding lawn mower tubeless tire to repair leak in side of tire?

Yes you can I have done on 2 different older lawn & garden tractors I own. As the tires age they can develop small side cracks that allow air to escape. Yet, the tire is basically still good with lots of tread. I went to tire store in our area and had them order and install a tube into the tire.
