Default brake fluid leak

I seem to be losing brake fluid like its goin out of style. i looked at the resicoir while i was refilling it, and it felt loos and when i moved it, appeared wet and what not at the thick black rubber spacer/seal attached directly to the bottom of the resivoir. any easy fixes, or am i gonna have to pay the audi specialists up the street a gagillion dollars?

well if the leak is right there under the resevoir then it will be an easy fix and you should do it your self.

item 12 are rubber seals and the header item 10 just plugs in so it will have movement that's the way its meant to be, perhaps you dislodged it somehow and it needs putting back in right

you only want to drain the header so syphon it out then just pull the header out and check the seals, you can buy new ones so not expensive
