Agree with that, first check hoses, it only could be an o-ring or the hose itself, also could be reservoir cracks or the big o-ring between the pump and the reservoir.

Is the cap sealing well?

x3 on the pressure hose. mine leaked for years, then blew right out the side of the pump. I replaced the hose ($20) and it hasn't leaked since.
