Default Brake fluid reservoir leak?

Anyone seen this before? The leak seems to be coming from the cap itself. No cracks around the reservoir that I can see. I see abit of corrosion on the booster surface. Not sure if that's something to worry about. Haven't touched this area since I did a brake fluid flush last year and made sure everything was clean and dry after that service.

Figure i'd ask here first before I go spend $50 (quoted in AUS) on a new cap from nissan...
I'll prob have better luck in the wreckers for much less.

Let me know what you guys think. Interested to see if anyone has experienced this. Car is about to reach ~68000km (~42250mi).
