power steering reservoir leak/seep around cap. After cleaning around he cap, within a week, it's wet again, like the fluid is seeping out slowly. It does get low on fluid. Any ideas why it my be leaking/seeping?? It's not a bad leak at all. It kinda dries before it gets to the bottom of the reservoir. Thanks.

mine does the same. there is a slight crack around the cap on mine around the edges and it leaks slowly. but i always keep my fluid a little lower because the ls1 PS pumps expand the fluid alot
