I haven't had that, but I am noticing some seepage around the rubber gasket, I tightened it up som but I don't think it really helped. It does have decent pressure though

I had the same problem. Brake would fade over night, then I started noticing the fluid was leaking... I went to the dealership and bought a new cover and gasket... Swapped it myself and haven't had a problem since. I think part of the issue is people over thinking the problem. The other part is people over tightening the cover. Keep a real close eye on the gasket as your tighten the cover, if you see it start to pinch it is too tight and will leak.
