Leaking brake fluid in Clio

In April my Renault Clio was towed away because the brake fluid was so low that a brake system fault appeared on my display — the second time this fault has appeared. The fix was to use the same master cylinder cap, tighten it to a certain tension and then respray the engine bay where the brake fluid had taken the paint off. After 16 days I picked the car up, lifted the bonnet, and it was still leaking. In May a new reservoir from France was fitted and it's still leaking.

Emily Fadayev of Renault Australia replies: "We have carried out extensive testing since the repair work was completed and have been unable to reproduce his concerns. This is the first case we've encountered so we've contacted head office. Our customer service team are remaining in constant contact with Glen as it is our desire to resolve this for him as soon as possible."
