I am currently running a set of hope X2 brakes and for the last couple of weeks they have been leaking fluid from the reservoir

So my question is will new diaphragms solve this?

I recon I'm still going to replace them so what would you suggest ,I was thinking along the lines of avid CR mags
I assume this is French petrol - be careful in reverse - the car will retreat rapidly at the least provocation.

    maybe or it is just fluid sitting on top of the diaphragms or the tops are not tight or something else.

    Phone hope tomorrow. If they are deemed faulty they will most likely sort them out for you FOC if they aren't too old
