Sometimes the rubber in the cap dries out - a new cap from Ford is only like $12.

The cap and M/C are new.What could be putting pressue into the M/C that would cause this.The fluid is not filled to the top.Would a worn caliper do this.

Possibly some air in the system from the changeover. Try wiping clean and dry and see if still happens.
