That sounds very similar to my Stags.  The plastic reservoir had apparently
warped until it no longer pressed firmly against the seal, so I carefully
sanded it back flat, cleaned and reassembled.  Worked great for me.

I'm probably paranoid, but I won't use any sort of sealant on brake
fittings.  Hylomar uses a solvent that is likely not good for brake seals.
I don't know what modern "sensor safe" silicone RTVs emit, but I'll bet
there is something.
