leaking master cylinder...

EXJAY · March 25, 2003

i think the gasket is going or the fill bottle is getting loose on top of the master cylinder because i notice a little brake fluid every now and then runnoff onto the inner fender well and if i move the bottle to the side a bit, it tends to seep out more. can it be tightned or any way of a easy fix? thanks

According to my source, the reservoir is a push fit onto the master cylinder with two gromments to effect a seal. I don't know if these grommets are available separately, but they should be relatively easy to replace, but I would bleed all four corners after refilling the reservoir.

Master cylinder rebuild kits are cheap and readily available at your friendly local parts dealer.

Only fix that I know of. Even if you can just find the grommets, I would recommend doing the full rebuild on the master cylinder while you are in there. Just to be safe.

They are not too hard to do.
