Hey guys,
Help me with a problem. I am leaking brake fluid (dot 3 paint remover) from my master cylinder reservoir cap no matter how tight I screw it down ( or loose ). Every thing in the hydraulics is new. I have to remove it all to repaint ( bummer ) and want to solve the problem before I reinstall. Someone suggested I may have air in the line, hence causing hyper-pressure in the reservoir and forcing fluid out the cap seal.
Too, when reinstalling the slave reservoir, I bought a "racing type" braided hose from the slave cylinder to the piping, thinking the nylon original style hose is a weak point. The instructions that came with it said "not for street use!" Something about improper installation possibilities and "shorting out". Whaaa? Shorting out what? I always thought that the nylon hose was a bad idea but maybe I am wrong and should stick with original equipment stuff. Any ideas?
