brake resevoir weeping..............

[sharky71]

i've been out in the van today and caught a wiff of brake fluid,so i checked resevoir by left knee and there was a drop formed at the angled base.
it's a new resevoir and i bought a new inner sleeve for the pipe(which the spout of resevoir sits in) and even stuck a pipe clip on it but it has weeped again.
has anyone else had this issue :? ,should it happen :roll: ,is it common :shock: ,what is causing it and would it be down to the master cylinder feed pipe being out of round .
if i need a new feed pipe where can i get one from and what grade do i need to ask for??
not losing alot but it makes me keep an eye on it??

regards.

Yeah, I had the same problem with a wolfsburg west brand one from JK's. Turned out to be a hairline crack on the bottom, completely split when removing it. Quick call to JK's and they sorted me a new one. Guessing it just got dammaged in the post. New one fitted with same seal and all is good. Hope this helps.
