Did this back in 2005 and and works great and finally took a pic of it.
Thought I would pass this on to ya all.
Just make a gasket/seal from some kind of brake fluid proof rubber or silicone.
I got mine from an ACE hardware. It is some kind of pipe connection seal.
Anyway cut it as shown below to fit in the cap. You will need to cut the center out to fit around the ribs in the cap. There is a small vent in the top of the cap that needs to remain open so the diaphragm can expand.
The seal material needs to be about 60 though thick (about 1/32 of an inch) more or less.
Place it inside the cap and then put the diaphragm back in and put the cap back on the cylinder reservoir.
I have had mine in since 2005 and no fluid leaks.
Sort of a Ghetto fix but what the hell it works.
