929 Master Cylinder Leak

I did the 929 conversion some months ago and have noticed a odd leak. It appears the leak is coming from the bushings that hold the brake fluid reservoir to the body of the cylinder. The 929 was a new rebuilt unit, that came with new bushings that we installed. Anyone run into this??

Could be the reservoir has a hairline crack around the nipples at the bottom that fit into the grommets. That's not an uncommon FC problem, usually caused by leaning against the reservoir.

Not sure if you can get JUST the reservoir or not.
