If your looking at the reservoir check the o-ring in the cap. Mine was hard with age and it caused it to seep or leave a film over everything. New o-ring and it all stays clean.

The reservoir isn't seeping or leaking anywhere around the cap seal now but I'm going to go ahead and replace it when fixing the hoses. They are cheap enough and I'd like to have a new filter in there.
