Looking at my brake reservoir it looks like it was designed to have a cover.
I also see my reservoir cap has a small breather hole in the top, it tends to over flow into the top tray. I have to clean the tray out from time to time and don't like the Idea of this fluid sloshing out on to my paint. It looks like the top of the cap could have had a rubber hose connected but broke off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I have never seen a 914 reservoir with a cover or cap with a tube. Am I missing something? This post has been edited by ruby914: Oct 21 2012, 03:41 PM Attached image(s)

I have seen a cap; in fact, I have one on one of my cars. Don't think it was "factory". 914 brake fluid reservoirs do not have an overflow tube to the best of my knowledge. Some 911's do (911SC does, maybe others). That causes surprises to 914 owners who help pressure bleed Carerra brakes and when they crack open the bleeder valve, nothing comes out .... until they look under the car and see the puddle of brake fluid! If there is an overflow tube on the reservoir, you can (probably MUST) clamp it when you pressure bleed it.
