Has anyone heard of or seen a TSB for a Master Cylinder Reservoir and / or cap leak or weep on the 2014 Camaros? If so where can I get a copy? I could not find it.
I apologize to the admin ahead of time if I posted this in the wrong area

I had the master cylinder replaced per the TSB. Within 4 months it started leaking again. I Purchased the Dorman Master Cylinder gasket (Part# 42072) and there's not been one drop of fluid leak out of the cylinder since. I wouldn't waste your time with the TSB, just purchase the gasket and be done with it.

Thank you hawk02 and blackbird15 I will be getting one Saturday morning. I agree it would be easier just getting the part then dealing with a service dept.

They addressed the problem by replacing parts, but the cap is loose on the replacement parts as well. The gasket (above) seems to take care of this issue as it is a little thicker than OEM and allows the cap to seal.

I have in the past seen on here Caps that have a slit in the center of the rubber seal that is on the cap........ Some kind of crappy manufacturing defect....

I want to thank all that helped with this. I went this morning to Advanced Auto and picked up a Dorman Master Cylinder gasket (Part# 42072). I compared the OEM one to this one and what a difference. Not only is the new one thicker, it also seems to be made much better then the OEM one. After replacing the 2, which was surprisingly very easy, the cap fit a lot tighter. Now I have to get the cover I made to cover the bottle sand blasted and repaint it as the leaking brake fluid bubbled the paint near the fill. Thanks again, I knew I could count on the members of Camaro5 to help.

You use the OEM cap just the rubber gasket gets replaced.
