I had it filled to the Max line, I thought. The brakes seem to work well enough. Pedal is a little lower than I'd have liked, and a quick stab gives a second or two of slow sinking before it stops. I have no point of reference as to how they should feel really as the booster…

I put a booster on my 87 turbo wagon the other day, it was obviously dead.

I adjusted the piston to match the protrusion out of the original booster, so in theory that's correct.

Noticed the last couple days after a day driving the top and sides of the master cylinder are slightly wet with brake fluid. It's got to be coming out of the cap, but why? The gasket looks decent on the cap, could it be as simple as a bad gasket on the cap? Any other technical reason it'd do this?

Thanks again..
