Leaking Brake Fluid Resevoir - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Does anyone else have a problem with their brake fluid resevoir leaking from the cap? Everytime I wipe down my engine compartment I see traces of brake fluid sitting outside the white plastic resevoir. I wipe it clean and it comes back. It's not a lot but it's getting annoying to keep cleaning it. I checked the cap and it seems fine and I always make sure it's on tight. Any suggestions to get this to stop or is this normal? Thanks.

Thanks for the link Stig. I guess I can try the milk carton fix, or has taking some fluid out stopped the leak?

I used the Drake billet cap. Its a full cap not a cover. Has a better seal.Did the trick!

Milk carton fix worked for me...no leaks since I did it.
