While I know well that Hydraulic Fluids are quite adept @ Creeping, I am doubtful that if the Seal @ the Booster End of the MC is leaking that it would be finding Its way back up & out of the Booster, especially in an amount that would cause it to Drip,, Be sure 1st that there is no sign of leakage around the reservoir seals & check the underside of the reservoir for signs of a leak/crack ~
