Brake master cylinder woes B*GG*R!!!!!!!!!!!

[Moraystag]

Gent's just noticed this morning that there is brake fluid seeping from where the mastercylinder bolts to the servo. It's mad a fair old mess of my nicely painted servo.

The thing is I changed this master cyliner less than a year ago and spray painted the servo, which looks crap at the bottom now.

The brake master cylinder came from J.P.'s. and was bought last September. I'm wondering if it could be anything other than the seals have gone in this new unit. Funny thing is, the brakes seem to be working fine, any ideas guy's, as I may try J.P. for a replacement as it should have some type of guarantee.

Hi mike, Snap, J.P.replaced it but had to send it back first. John

I just resealed my own unit and I thought though that the seals are really poor quality so I don't expect them to last too long. The seal kit came from JP so I guess they get them from the same supplier as the master cylinders.
I will be using silicone brake fluid and one of the reasons is that spills dont attack the paint work. (its not supposed to collect water either which is the main reason for changing to it.) It isn't recommended to change from normal fluid to silicone though as it can cause issues with sludge in the brake system but my system is completely new, pipes, caliper seals, wheel cylinders and hoses so I shouldnt have that problem.
