Brake resevoir grommets
 
For the last two years, my brake cylinder has been leaking fluid from around the grommets. Is it a reaction with some form of brake fluid? It only does it when it gets cold out. spring and summer, it's dry as a bone.

May be it gets cold enough for the rubber to contract and then it leaks?

You and I have very much the same climates. it begins to leak when the tempuratures come to around 15 or colder. It didn't leak all summer.

It is a pain but have you tried removal and cleaning?
