Dave,
I have seen the plastic warp a bit to where the seals aren't compressed 
like they should be. I have ground a bit off the four mounting pads so 
the reservoir is pulled down a little tighter. May work for you.

The square-shouldered washers, used to seal between the reservoir and MC seem to be in good shape and were properly seated. The four screws holding the reservoir to the MC were in place had been snugged down well. Anything I can do to 'enhance' the sealing properties of those sealing rings?
