This has been covered before.
The O ring selection is tricky to get the right size. It is easy to accidentally loosen the bayonet twist fitting on the reservoir.if you are working on other components in that area. The selected 'O' ring(s) need to be a tight fit in the groove but as plump as possible to prevent lossening. Lube the O ring with liquid soap to get it in- not grease/oil. The objective is to make the o ring slick for a few minutes and then sticky in service.
The stock overflow hose is too short. Use a longer one with small catch can to ensure you know if the mess is overflow(if any) or O ring leakage.
