Hey Robert,
Sorry to hear about your reservoir leak.
I had a hell of a time tracking down a leak in my reservoir -ended up
replacing the reservoir - still had the mysterious leak.

Finally someone on the list suggest the reservoir "geyser" effect.  The
back check valve on the PS pump fails intermittently and the back pressure
going into the reservoir shoots Pentosin up through the tiny non-sealed
float wire going in through the reservoir cap.  Solved the problem bhy
replacing the pump.

Hope your solution is much simpler.
Cheers,
Ron
