Yeah the cap design on this car is just kind of silly. The sleeve thing is interesting. Might be my last resort, thanks for the link.

Car-Slave: Yes, interesting. I've never seen mine leak a drop but that is a sample of 1 so not valid. I guess we're saying it comes from the fluid sloshing up to the level of the cap. Might be the answer is to run the fluid a little lower in the reservoir. I'm sure the Min markings were probably set assuming owners going months or years without checking it.

I was thinking more about this. I know that when I squeeze the pads back right before replacing them that the fluid is forced back through the system and raises the level in the reservoir. Pad "knock back" could do the same thing but the magnitude should be very small compared to a pad replacement. So don't think that is an explaination.

Jason at Paragon told me that there are no rebuild kits. I wound up buying the new aftermarket steel M/C from him. It has worked great and weight penalty is negligable. You can buy the new rubber donuts that seal the reservoir to the M/C.

Are there rebuild kits for the steel one?

My reservoir is always a little over halfway between min and max. If I top it off, after one session it goes back to that level and stays there. I just leave it at that level for years now.
