Billet brake and clutch reservoirs
 
I purchased a SPF a year ago and it has the Kirkham billet reservoirs......very nice looking. Some work was performed on the car and cleaned up under the hood and now I notice that I have leaks but I can't figure out where its coming from. I find fluid on the top of the reservoirs around the black caps and then I find fluid on the bottom near the nipples. Whenever I take the black caps off the rubber inserts are always sucked out or distorted and I have to push them back in before putting the cap back on. Does anyone have any similar issues with these reservoirs? I really like the look but I need to get the leaks resolved.
Thanks

Which caps are they? The black powder coated ones or the plastic ones?

These are the black plastic caps. I believe these were ordered in 2009 or 2010. I notice that every time I pull the cap off the rubber gasket that fits into the cap is elongated by an inch like it has had vaccum pulling it out.

its not the caps.....the kirkham billet reserves are 2 piece they screw together...take them out unscrew the two pieces (i didn't know it until kirkham told me) use a little locktite (red) and screw them back together ...no more leaks...that what solved my leaking issues

Thanks for the information. Sounds like something that we will do when we pull the motor for the cam swap.
