did you spot where it had been leaking? the blocks can crack on these as well as the heads and gaskets though not as common.
It sealed before and still seals because before it used to throw the water out when it didn't seal. So I don't think it's the radiator cap that's the issue. It looked like it'd passed between the layers of the gasket from what I seen.

Pleased you are not giving up on it.
EBay gasket kits are all well and good, until you use the head gasket.
As has been the case many times I've seen. In one case, an l200 was scrapped after having an eBay gasket kit fitted, with a new head.
So much water was in the sump the big ends went, at 6 years old.
Blooming heck well I'm glad I caught this one before it got that bad! I could tell the quality difference once I had the new gasket. I certainly won't be buying another one off eBay.
