I just worked on mine today. I had problems since March with mine as you it just started one day which for me was a 5 hr ride home. I took some rubber gasket material and cut it out to fit the top around the old gasket. I cut it so the orignle rubber gasket can work as it should. The rings in the rubber are for vacuum in the system to take up the space when you mash the pedal and then collasp back when the pedal is released. I cut my extra gasket with the holes for this and extra around the lid. I haven't drove it yet since I'm doing some other mods to but hope this fixes my leak.
