Default help with leaking master cylinder

hey guys

i had a leaking master cylinder a while ago and me and a mater changed it for a new one .it stoped leaking for a while but now it's back even worse.

so did i get a dodgy master cylinder or could it be the booster ???
it's leaking under where in goes into the booster at the bottom


thanks jarrod

Did you clean the booster out, was the master brand new or rebuilt at least.

Well if it was leaking you may have had residual fluid still in the booster that is now coming back out (possible at least), I suggest unbolt the master clean pull it slightly forward, clean the area up, clean/soak up the inside of the booster and see how it goes.

Nope, dont undo the lines to the master, just the bolts to the booster, the brakes lines are fairly flexible if you are carefull, the booster is just to assist not hold fluid in.

Booster will fluid in it if the master is leaking out the back (normally where they leak) and that is what your peoblem may be only (I hope), boosters dont leak fluid unless like i just said, they will leak air i.e. vacuum though.

Try confirm the age/condition of the one you put in first, it was definately new and its still leaking, then I will have to do some serious thinking as to why, unless someone has already been there done that
