brake fluid leak
have a 2005 f250 superduty. notice that there is some brake fluid around and on top of the brake fluid reservoir. i havent put or changed the brake fluid. nor am i running low but find it odd to have some on the outside. cant seem to see where its coming from.
any one else have this problem or have any suggestions.
oh and by the way the cap to the reservoir seems to be in good condition.
thanks

I dont think this is anything to worry about. Somtimes they just get condinsation built up around that area that cause dirt to stick to the MC. That is what I have found. Im sure someone can explane it better than me though. As long as the MC is full then I wouldnt worry about it. GL

Maybe they just over-filled it a bit?
When it gets hot due to heavy braking, the fluid will expand and could overflow a bit.
I'd take a little out of the reservoir. It will get on the paint and take it off.
