I have the 2014 GS which recently feels like it want to creep forward when 1st gear is selected whilst clutch is fully in?, has anybody else had a similar issue?.

Secondly the Brake reservoir always seems to have moisture around the seal, any similar issues?.

Thanks in advance.

The brake resevoir leaking fluid is a common one, the clutch dragging(not slipping) not so common.
If you still have the 2 year warranty get it to the dealer to fix, if not ,buy the extended warranty. It will probably be cheaper in the long run.
 
As CPJS has pointed out, when you're talking to the dealer, the term for what you are experiencing is clutch drag, not slip... :thumb2
 
Tony, my 2013 GS clutch did this. Also, judging by what I saw and discussions with other owners at the BMW bash at Garmisch in 2013 I was not the only one. This clutch dragging can be a pain in the *** e.g. when you're stuck in heavy slow traffic in Reims and you can't get neutral to relieve the situation without switching off the engine.
I sold mine at the end of 2013 but returned to GS in 2016 since my 2016 model is excellent. I have no idea what BMW changed in between time.
