Default Leaking Brake Fluid ... Help!

At my last race, I noticed that I was leaking some brake fluid near the Brake Fluid Resivor. I'm not really sure where the leak is coming from. Any ideas how to determing where the leak is? It doesn't appear to be coming from the brake lines where they connect to the master cylinder. Perhaps I have a cracked resivor? Any help is appreciated.

Was there any fluid in the top of the cap when you put it back on? Maybe some driped out.

Or get some wrist bands...

It's more than just a little. After each session .. I had to re-top the resivor off.

Yeah, actually put a sock over your reservoir and see where it soaks up. If the reservoir is not leaking, then time to look for other cracks...

Aha! People actually recommending using the wristbands. I knew all the reservoir cover nay-saying was just meant to confuse and distract...
