    Brake fluid reservoir leak

    I have noticed a leak from bottom of the brake fluid reservoir overnight.
    Is there a seal that needs replacing or something else ?

    There are two rubber seals.

    I have recently replaced mine and had some problems with the bleeding of the brakes.

    Have a look at the following post

    Most likely you will need to bleed it.

    I had to remove the reservoir and then the master cylinder as the seals were stuck in there and broke when removing.

    If you can get the seal out and back in one piece you would be do very well. The back seal has a feed coming from the diaphragm so this makes it near impossible.

    I would be preparing yourself to bleed the brakes.

    Regards

    The yellow cap goes inside the diaphragm.
