seals and brake fluid

Jan 31, 2005 2 Replies

the seals between the reservoir and the master cylinder are leaking, it's only a drip but it'll empty itself at least daily.



Can I take the reservoir off and re-seal it using some sillycone or similar? or will the hydrolic fluid f*ck-it?



I don't have a spare £35 for a new master cylinder at the moment and it seems I can't get the seals, unless they are in some kind of overhaul kit?



PS the brakes seem fine so I assume that they are not needing to take any fluid form the reservoir and so not sucking in air when it's run dry. but I still want it fixed pronto.

Have you tried your friendly neighbourhood brake and hose type place - they must have something I'd have thought.

Cheers Richard
