This has occurred on 3 occasions out of 10 or so days this year. It always seems to happen in the first morning session only, going away by session 2 and not occurring again throughout the day. It doesn't seem to affect braking.

I've checked the reservoir and don't see any obvious sign of leaks. I keep the reservoir filled just at Max and try to avoid over filling. I run SRF fluid wt PFC 08s on stock calipers/rotors.

Anyone experience this, or ave any thoughts?
Test the fluid on your windshield on your paint. If it removes your paint, it's probably brake fluid.
