I had seen some posts on this subject but cannot locate them using the search engine. Anyone find a solution or alternative to the problem?[/QUOTE
Did you heat up the base before you put it over the Oring? I had that problem and that and a new Oring took care of it.
I happened to see the Tilton triple reservoir in a catalog just AFTER I had mounted the three Wilwoods and noted how I wish I had seen it sooner. Now that there are reported problems with the Wilwoods, it doesn't seem like an option to switch.
I guess that's what hole plugs are for! Just glue them in with epoxy.
Thanks for the feedback guys!

David,
What car are you working with there? Is that an LMP1?
Is it me or are your remote reservoirs located across from your tire - seems like they would take quite a pounding??
For anyone who questions the leakage of a brake fluid reservoir cap, the enclosed photo demonstrates a solution that I have used, and have seen multiple times in the pits, as I am sure many of you have as well.
The addition of a brake fluid level sensor further complicates the situation. (been there, done that)
In Theory, the problem should not exist, but we sometimes push these street-legal cars to close to 200 MPH with extreme later G-forces and Reality comes into play.
Putting the situation in perspective, I am sure F1 does not have this problem, but I would presume that most of us do not have and F! budget!
Its great to know that there are better answers for those who push the envelope. such as AN- and billet fittings that are great, and they don't break the bank. (thanks Howard and Alex)
Sometimes you may just want to put strips of shop towels over the leak, secure with zip-ties, and go out and kick-ass on the competition. Nothing wrong with that either.
Just my opinion,
David
