Re: tired of leaky master cyl.

Wish I knew of a MC that's guaranteed not to leak from around the cap.
I've had the truck since '82 and my Dad bought it new. The only MC that didn't leak from around the cap was the original. Even that one eventually leaked from the rear, however I can understand moving parts wearing out.

well I found some rubber strips laying around and lined the inside of the caps outer edges and put the rubber seal back in and seems to work for now
