Solved my Master Cylinder Reseroir Leak problem...

I found a sheet of black rubber that is about just a little thicker than the gasket under the cap of my reservoir. Traced the gasket onto the sheet rubber and with a sharp scalpel cut me a new gasket. That little extra thickness totally fixed the seepage that constantly appears around the cap and would want to drip down the back side of the reservoir, and ultimately ruin my paint. Up to this point I had kept a nappy around the darn thing. Problem solved. If any of you want a piece big enough to make your own gasket, drop me a PM and I will send you a square to cut your own.
 
Bill, with an offer like that I hope you have an acre of it.

I would test a piece of the rubber with brake fluid to make sure that it is compatible, just to be sure. Put a bit in a butter cup and leave it for a couple of days; then check back to see if the brake fluid has dissolved it at all.
