Default Drive Reservoir Leak

Having a problem with the reservoir leaking into the bildge. So far it's not the reservoir itself thought it might be front seal on drive pulled it it's dry. Is there a way this might be pressuring up and forcing it out the reservoir underway?

Thanks!

Just a shot in the dark, but your cap might be bad. I just had this same problem and found that the seal was dry rotted. I changed the reservoir cap and knock on wood problem fixed

Which drive oil reservoir do you have? Some are prone to cracking. Also, we only fill ours to about 50-60% full when cool to allow for expansion.
