If the one on your bike has the plastic nut and the new spare one has a metal one it'd be worth switching to the metal one. The plastic ones are known to crack/leak, presumably when the plastic gets brittle.
I don't know when they made the switch over but I checked my '02 and it had a metal nut, may have been original or a later replacement, I don't know.
