Latham Steering Reservoir Question
I just installed a Latham steering reservoir to complete my full steering system. But I have noticed after every run there is a little fluid on the top of the reservoir coming out of the vent. Check with a friend and had the same thing going on and said it is normal.
Has anyone created a setup with a blue anodized cap that does not vent out the side? Or is there something else that can be dome to still allow venting but not have to collect on the outside of the reservoir?
Thank you for the help in advance.

I am very happy with this solution, it is surprising how much the level in the reservoir varies according to running time/temp
I used this style bottle so that I would get an alarm for low fluid http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-MerCruis...00027167193%26
Full hydraulic steering is not much use without the fluid
