Leaky cap fixed

One of the first things I noticed when I started checking fluid levels in The Truck was small amounts of brake fluid around the cap and on top of the reservoir. Mechanic George tried several things and we wound up ordering a new cap. Turns out the problem was the rim surface under the cap/seal (red line).

George files and sanded that rim smooth which allowed the cap to screw in tighter for a better seal. No leaks so far.
