    Cool Master cylinder

     



    All, I am using a Total Performance BS1531 dual-reservior master cylinder and would like to know of anyone has encountered any problems with this unit leaking.

    (http://www.tperformance.com/street_r...ster_cylinder/)


    I have checked all fittings (AN format) in the system and none of them are leaking. Overnight brake fluid collects on the bottom of the master clyinder yet all fittings are still dry? It seems to be coming from the secondary reservoir close to the cap retaining wire?

    Any suggestions!

    Thumbs up Master cylinder leaking

     



    Cffisher, you hit it on the nail.... I replaced the entire master cylinder and the leak is gone. A hairline crack in the casting was the issue. Now I intend to try and get the vendor to cover my loss!

    Thanks
