Break fluid reservoir leak

Hi, guys.

I have '96 maxima. I changed my breaks nearly 8 months ago (rear breaks full swap and front ones- pads only). I recently started to notice that my brake fluid is decreasing. Not by much, but it's noticible. Last time I topped it of was like a week ago and today it's half an inch lower from the MAX mark.

I didn't remove the wheels but checked(as much as I could) the calipers.. there were no leaks on them and also there were no leaks on the ground.

I looked near the master cylinder and there was some fluid near the reservoir. I wanted to ask what should I do? Should I replace the reservoir or buy some sort of no-leak-mix

Thank you

I would see if you can swap out the reservoir and bleed the brakes.

do not use the leak stopper fluids.

Can I chnage only the plastic reservoir itself or the entire master cylinder system has to be changed ?

Thanks for your answer!
