Has anyone had experience of the plastic reservoir leaking?
Having undone the top, carefully so that the oil doesnt spill out, & done it back up tight it still leaks.
The rubber insert does look slightly deformed & in which case has anyone had experience of this failing, ie it is slightly wrinkled?

I'm wondering if someone has put the wrong dot oil in as the brake handlebar seal needed to be replaced & in which case has the wrong oil affected all the rubber parts - appears to be too much of a coincidence.

I now have streeks of paint fade down my tank as the 'darned' thing was leaking all the way too & from Poland - despite my best efforts at wrapping loads of tape around it!

Interested to hear of others experience .... thank you
 
I know this is an old post but its what came up from the search.

did you solve this? I seem to be having a leak from the base of my front brake reservoir :(
