Im tempted to just replace the master cylinder cap myself instead of taking it to the dealer for them to tell me "they cant find any leak". Well just because they cant find the leak doesnt mean it doesnt exist. I think they lack any type of common sense.

Take it back to dealer have them fix it. They might say you mess with it cause it to leak or something like that.

Keep taking it back

I had actually removed quite a bit of fluid from the master cylinder myself when i first noticed the cap leaking, figured that would solve the problem. But i guess the excess fluid "blew" the seal under the cap, so it won't completely pressurize the master cylinder now. The new one came in today, should have it put on on saturday, if they won't let me do it myself.
Let me know if it fixes your problem. Thanks.
