Power steering CAP leak.
2013 Mercedes C250 Sport
I've noticed since I bought the car that the cap on the power steering reservoir has a small leak. It's not around the neck of the cap, it's on top where the hole is. I doubled check to make sure the leak is not coming from anywhere related to the reservoir as I have searched and read it's common for the reservoir to leak. My reservoir is ok. Just the top portion of the cap is leaking. Is this normal? Thanks in advance.

I thought that too so I wiped off any excess and left it. I kept wiping it when I see more. It wasn't until the 3rd time(roughly 3 years) is when I noticed my power steering was making minor noise in the morning. Upon checking the fluid, I noticed it was low so I topped it off and the noise went away. But the cap leak is still around. 😞
