Is there a cap seal you can purchase by itself? Or do you have to replace the entire reservoir?

First time I dealt with this leak I thought it would be the seal, too. But the only way it would be the seal, since that reservoir isn't pressurized, is if you over filled it completely to the rim or you have been taking your X5 on some very step angles after nearly filling it to the rim.


I think Upallnight was simply stating that the type of fluid your system requires would be on the cap/reservoir label if it was original. But if there is any chance it has been replaced there is always the possibility the a PO may have purchased a reservoir and lid with the wrong label(s).


Upallnight, please respond so you hit your goal!
