Paul,
I have had the same problem in my TR3 for 10 years, and have not had any
braking or clutch issues. You would continue to top off as needed. However,
with a functional MS reservoir a drop in the fluid let's you know what hyd
system is leaking.

Subject: [TR] clutch/brake fluid transfer w/in reservoir
Unfortunately, I have only been partially successful in trying to get my
TR3's
brake/clutch reservoir leakproof. The good news is that the outside of the
reservoir does not leak fluid. However, inside the can is a small leak
which
allows brake fluid to change from one chamber to the other chamber after
several days. Of course, the clutch 'chamber' is a tall cylindrical metal
tube that sits inside the brake reservoir.
I think that if one keeps the reservoirs full (neither the clutch
system
nor brake system leaks fluid), then no transfer takes place between the
'chambers'. What is the harm in doing this?
Thanks,
Paul Dorsey 60 TR3
