Seems like a lively debate going on here. Niles, you could relax a little although I do appreciate your perspective. However, part numbers and personal experiences are what make this forum work. Although I will not know for sure until tomorrow or Thursday, it seems Cashburn and Flipper's experience is the same as my own. Did you replace the cap or what. Do you have a part number and source for what worked for you?

At first I thought it was the line connection at the top of the master which in fact was not tight. Reason being the headers would smoke, the line was wet top to bottom and there would be spray on the windshield. I really never considered the cap until Cashburn's post which was aided by Flipper's post. The cap is only inches away and would explain the same fluid dispersion. I realized that most caps that I recalled even had a rubber cone that was meant to collapse. I can only think that the cone was to dampen the fluid so as to not expose air to the line under hard braking and cornering. I also would think it reasonable to think that the fluid will rise in the reservoir as the pressure is applied because not all that fluid can be forced down the line to the brake or clutch. Which is probably the reason they are very specific about not overfilling the reservoir? Incidentally, I can not see the fill line in my reservoir which would also lead to overfilling and cause a leaky cap. Now to find a cap with the dampening cone. Plus an easy fix like a cap will save time which equals a couple of beers and more fun time in the car. Flipper..Cashburn? Thanks guys for all your posts. I will let you know what does the trick.
