Leaking Master Brake Reservior

My 07 KR Screw is 3 weeks old. After washing it today I popped the hood and there is brake fluid all the way around the seam on the reservior. Is this a common problem? Anyone else experience this?

I love the truck, but this has me nervous about things to come.

Was it overfilled from the factory/dealer? It should be to the mark on the reservoir.

I would carefully wash that area down and see if it reappears, if it does, take it to the dealer.

Good idea.


keith97xlt- Pedal feels good, truck stops good.
