You would think that they would have come up with a solution if this has been going on for several years.

I could give you a LONG list of Mustang issues that bother me, I just deal with it.
Mustangs have FLAWS people, just deal with it !!!
The S197 is the best made Mustang to date.

If anything it is not the cap that is flawed, but the size of the tank. The cap needs to breath so there is no way to seal it completly, the obvious solution would be to make the tank size a little bit bigger so they can put the same amount of fluid without having to overfill it.

And WHY would they ??? The only harm is paint comes off. Not a safety issue or major concern at all. I could show a design flaw that cracks the floor on every 85-93 foxand Ford does not give a rats butt about fixing ! Also how about door cracks on Ford F150 that Ford never found a fix.

RE: 07 Master Cylinder
Actually, the cap doesent and shouldent need to "breath".
Brake systems are sealed to prevent the fluid which is hydroscopic from absorbing water from the air.
The rubber seal is a bladder and is supposed to seal against the resivoir, there is supposed to be atmosphere on the backside of the bladder to allow it to drop into the resivoir to compensate for the fluid level changing as the pads wear.
Ford needs to fix this.

RE: 07 Master Cylinder
I bought a new cap a couple weeks ago but havent had a chance to play with it yet. I am going to work on the car tommorow providing the weather is nice. Maybe I will pull the cap off and see what the actual problem is. I am betting it is just not sealing or something to that effect. Maybe I can figure out a solution. Who knows.
At least we might be out of the rain. Here in NJ it has rained so much in the past two weeks I havent even bothered washing the stang and it needs some TLC. It has been raining every other damn day.
Forgot to mention, I lowered the fluid level to below the max line as well. Helped a little, but not much.
