just tightening the clamps won't always do it. I've heard alot about cracked reseviour nipples, but never seen one. What has worked for me is to lift the reseviour, drain it, remove the hosaes and clean the res, cut about 3/4 inch off of each hose (if long enough) to give the clamps a fresh urface, and put it back together. The hose under the clamps gets so compressed that the clamps can't do there job, and it doesn't take much for ps fluid to leak. It's pretty thin and slippery.
While you're doing this, it's an excellent time to flush the system, get out all the old s***, clean out the inside of the res, and put clean fluid in.
