I can not think of any, But why would you need a sealant on a brake system?

Do you mean like the seal used in the caliper or something? DOT4 is essentially an improved dot3, so it shouldn't need anything special.

Something like that will only be temporary. You might want to try going to a hardware store and finding long strands of rubber that you can cut and use a bit of rtv to hold in place while you put the cap back on. Basically using the rubber in place of the seal. A new seal would be in order though. Should still be able to find them.

Just don't forget and ever swap over to silicone based brake fluid. It will dissolve that silicone.
