I got a little "whine" now and I noticed the clutch/brake reservoir, cap and booster have little bit of fluid on them. The cap was on tight. I don't know whats up with that. I'm gonna change the fliud to better stuff but I didn't know if that is related to the "whine" that I'm now experiencing. The trans shifts perfect just sounds like my 2001 Lightning did (twin screw sound).

Mine dripped from day one, paint is peeling below reservoir now. I wonder if it has to do with the clutch master cylinder.

No its the pressure from the system pushing the fluid from under the cap. Clean it all off, then take the car out and do a panic stop with it. You will see more residue around the base of the cap. Mine 09 GT500 did the same thing. One time I was doing a 5th gear highway pull and thought I saw a cop, so I hit the brakes so hard from like 150 down to speed limit and the brake fluid sprayed on the windshield from under the hood. The cap was still on, but it forced the fluid out.
