try another cap,
Mines been doing this for years now. when the fluid level's around 70% full it stops! when its full(to the line)... the squishes out over time. but then again, its ur brakes.... replace it with a new one... they're about 140 bux (trade) from most brake places. this way you can have an excuse to bleed the lines and get new fluid into her!

The black thing behind it is called the booster

Yep! Unless you can find traces of fluid coming down from the cap. Clean the whole area up first then check it in a couple of days. If you can only find it leaking at the back of the MC then replace or reco the MC.

well if its coming from the centre of the master cylinder IE: inbetween the booster and itself, then its leaking past the piston,
the next step for that then is..... no brakes! untill you pump it a few times to flare out the grommet... Meh, Replace it
