You need to make sure the seal under the cap is clean and seated correctly......

Ive got the same problem with mine. Just cant seem to stop it, thats italian bikes for you, better than my bland rrw fireblade that just do's everything right all the time.

I had the same problem with my fluid reservoir covers. You need these anodised ally covers from http://www.carbon-trader.com/cnc-999.htm. Easy to fit (you use the existing rubber seal) and work well.

My clutch cover is quite bad, although I have had it on and off numerous times.

The brake side looks as good as new though

Wonder if the anodized covers will hold up well over time...
