Default brake fluid leaking

I searched on this and didnt find anything. My P400 has fluid seeping out around the lid of my resevoir. i have taken it off, cleaned up the surfaces and torqued it back down, and it is still just seeping out when I hit the brakes. Anybody know why this would happen or what the fix would be? new rubber thingy maybe? Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks, I bought the bike new, and this is the first time ive ever had it open.Looked at if a few minutes ago, and im guessing that a small molding flaw in the lid is allowing fluid to escape the now aged gasket. I will see if my warranty will cover it, if not I will look for the parts myself. Thanks!
