Hey guys,
I have a brand new master cylinder on my car, no power brakes. The system has been bled and works fine, however, every time im done driving there is fluid seeping out of the caps on the reservoir, sometimes quite a large amount.
This was happening with the reservoir it came with, so i figured the caps were junk. I switched to another reservoir that i had from the same type of vehicle (both masters are from a late 70's fifth ave if i remeber correctly)....well, same thing, just not as bad...fluid comes out of the caps after a long drive
I dont have too much fluid in there, i know it because ive tried taking some out and it does the same thing...Yes, sometimes i do have to really stand on the brakes, but i dont think that should be a reason for fluid to ooze out...heck, i havent even used my linelock in over 3 months because im kinda afraid the pressure is gonna shoot the fluid through the caps and up onto the backside of my hood
so i ask, any ideas what might be causing this? because im all out of them:munky2:
