[V8] Brake fluid reservoir cap

[Buchholz, Steven]

... please note that the cap is not intended to be airtight even if it
is not cracked.  As you depress and release the brake (and clutch ;-) a
little air is drawn in and released from the reservoir.  As long as your
reservoir still has that filter/cup under the cap I would not tend to
blame a cracked cap for a loss of fluid.  

Remember also that as the brake pads wear more fluid naturally ends up
in the calipers ... so you should expect the level to dip long term even
when everything is working perfectly ...
