Yikes. I know those things are pretty, but they are a leak waiting to
happen, I hate brake fluid on stuff. If it was anything but brake
fluid I would suggest the standard rusty tank cure--an internal
coating. But I'm not sure what coating would be certain to hold brake
fluid. You pull the whole thing off, block off the outlet with a
fitting and pressurize the tank while it's full of colored water and
find your leak, then solder it. An easy way to pressurize the tank is
with a pressure bleeder system. If you can't find a cap to fit you
could make one with a rubber stopper. You only need a pound or so of
pressure to turn a dribble leak into a spurt. Especially if the fluid
is thin like water.
